If you're using Canvas, you're most likely a student. Canvas is designed to uphold academic integrity through monitoring mouse clicks, keystrokes, word usage, and more. If you submit an assignment created with ChatGPT, it's very likely that Canvas will flag it. However, there are some steps you can take to increase your chances of getting through undetected. Keep in mind that there are third-party tools that teachers can use in conjunction with Canvas to detect AI influence. This wikiHow will explain how Canvas detects ChatGPT and what you can do to avoid being flagged.
Things You Should Know
- Canvas can detect AI usage to an extent. Teachers can use third-party tools to completely detect ChatGPT.
- To avoid detection, avoid copying and pasting direct phrases from ChatGPT.
- Use ChatGPT as a starting point for your assignments. Take the ideas you need and expand them in your own words.

Don't copy and paste exact phrases. ChatGPT's speech pattern can be identified fairly easily. If ChatGPT's response sounds vastly different from your own voice, your teacher will know. You can use a thesaurus to change the words, and you can shift the sentence structure to match your own voice more closely.[2] -
Use ChatGPT responses as a starting point. If you need a little help on your assignments, ChatGPT can help you get an idea of how to start. However, try not to follow ChatGPT too closely, especially if the topic is complex. Take the ideas you need, and expand on them in your own words.[3]EXPERT TIPTyrone Showers is a Technologist and the Co-owner of Taliferro Group, an IT consulting company based in Seattle, Washington.

TechnologistPay close attention to the content ChatGPT generates. If you use ChatGPT often, you'll start noticing its patterns, like its tendency to begin articles with phrases like "in today's digital world." Once you spot patterns, you can refine your prompts to steer ChatGPT in a better direction and avoid repetitive content.
-
Cite your sources. If your assignment involves using ChatGPT and it's approved by your teacher, you'll still need to properly cite your sources.[4] Otherwise, this is still considered plagiarism and can land you in trouble with your school.
