Research R0031 — Plural Voice Claims Blind
Run 2026-03-27
Claim C004
Hypothesis H2

Statement

The 22% figure exists but measures broader AI use on assignments, not exclusively submitting fully AI-generated content.

Status

Current: Supported

Supporting Evidence

Evidence Summary
SRC01-E01 22% = half of 43% AI users, including partial and full use

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence Summary
None No evidence contradicts this interpretation

Reasoning

The BestColleges survey shows 22% used AI for assignments, but of those, behavior ranged from partial assistance (50%) to majority AI-written (30%) to fully AI-generated (17%). The claim overgeneralizes.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

H2 is the most precise characterization. H1 requires exact accuracy; H3 requires the figure to be wrong — neither fits.
