Mississippi professor reveals hidden way he used to expose AI cheating in viral video

Jason Gibson, a professor at Alcorn State University, used white text on a white background in his midterm exam to detect students using AI. According to Gibson's TikTok videos, 32 of 35 students copied the hidden text without noticing it was invisible, indicating they submitted work generated by AI rather than reading the assignment themselves. The method worked because AI language models reproduce text from their training data without regard to visibility or readability to human eyes. Gibson's videos documenting the technique were widely shared on social media.
