But the OAK Lab just built a new tool to catch them. #cmuhcii authors created a JavaScript keytracker that catches participants copying answers from an AI tool like ChatGPT and pasting them into their Qualtrics survey.

How did they write 7 lines of commented code with only 2 keystrokes? Red flag.

Congratulations, Jeff, Laura and Chris!! 🎉

By designing with accessibility in mind from the very beginning, we unlock potential for everyone.

Let's build accessibility into our existing processes and continue to push for technologies that empower all users.

This rectangular sheet cake announced the winner of a contest. There is an edible image of the winning 404 error page design in the center. The writing on the cake is in red icing and says "HCII web page not found" and "Happy 404 Day"

Is it a web page, or is it cake? We invited MHCI students to design our new 404 error page and then we popped into class with this cake to announce the contest winner. This design by Sanjna (MHCI ‘25) debuts on our site today, 404 day! (April 4) #404error #404day #cmuhcii
