Legacy High’s “Leopard Plagiarism Patrol” Goes Too Far

Legacy’s new AI writing detector flagged the Declaration of Independence as “100% AI-generated” during a history class, while generic plagiarism checkers at other schools still struggle with basic Wikipedia copying. “It accused me of cheating on my poetry assignment because my metaphors were ‘too coherent,’” complained sophomore writer Emily Chen.

The system, officially called “LeopardScan,” has developed a particular hatred for Shakespeare and now automatically replaces any iambic pentameter with Leopard-themed haikus. English teachers are begging for the old days when students just copied SparkNotes.
