Losing my assets {crypto} to online scammers is one of the worst feeling i ever had.I was a victim to crypto online scams who made away with my $120,000 worth crypto (USDT) after investing with them in their platform.. Before the intervention of {ASSETS LAB} a recovery agency who helped me recoup back all the funds that was stolen from me ..
Three months ago i ran into a crypto investment platform called {GX TRADE} and they promise to assist me in crypto investment and mining and profits, after several weeks of following them on their platform where they teach their subscribers about crypto mining and investment and offering assistance to help their subscribers to make profits for them by persuading us to invest on their platform {Gx trade }.. 2 months ago i decided to invest with them , i did all the necessary requirements and agreement was reached..One week later , i went to to check on them on their platform and discovered that i cant reach them anymore on any of their platform which turns out to be a scam after so many enquirement and confirmations .. i was devastated and nearly lost my life on the process. But thanks to my friend who introduced me to {ASSETS LAB LTD} a crypto recovery agency who helped me recover every penny stolen from me by the crypto scammers after a month of submitting my case to them . They followed my case diligently and made sure they recovered my funds and brought back life and joy to me and my family again ..

There are at least four very serious scholarly papers that tested these “AI Detectors” and found they are completely ineffective. However, the worst thing about them is not that they don’t work, It is that they are prone to flagging our most vulnerable students as cheaters! In GPT detectors are biased against non-native English writers, by Weixin Liang, Mert Yuksekgonul, Yining Mao, Eric Wu, James Zou and published in Liang, Weixin in the publication arXiv in July 2023, they showed that: Via Edumorfosis, Yashy Tohsaku

En vez de perder el dinero y tiempo vigilando que los estudiantes no entreguen sus trabajos con la ayuda de la IA, deberíamos enfocarnos más en acompañarlos en su desarrollo cognitivo. Diversas investigaciones han demostrado que los principales detectores de texto generado con GPT producen falsos positivos y falsos negativos. Así que lo más económico y productivo que puede hacer un educador hoy día, es cambiar su metodología instruccional y su estrategia evaluativa.

We still assess students based predominantly on written, terminal assessments that focus on narrow ranges of knowledge and an even narrower skills base. We get kids to memorize a formula and regurgitate ‘good’ answers into it. And I’m not talking about mathematical formula – a distressing amount of my teaching has been about how to structure exam responses. Not construct an effective argument or order your thoughts – no, just get an answer to a specific question type in the format that best matches the aims of the exam board. Students aren’t learning anything useful here; they’re just brute-forcing results using the quickest and most direct method. Via Edumorfosis, Yashy Tohsaku
