When William Quarterman logged into his student web portal to check the results of his history exam, he was shocked to see a cheating accusation from his professor attached to it. His professor had used artificial intelligence detection software including one called GPTZero. She issued him a failing grade and a referral to the University of California, Davis' Office of Student Support and Judicial Affairs for academic dishonesty in response. Quarterman denied he had any help from AI, but was asked to speak with the university's honor court in an experience he said caused him to have "full-blown panic attacks." He was eventually cleared of the accusation.
