Such an example is the word "delve", which means "to examine carefully". In most English-speaking countries, this word is rarely used, but it is used more frequently in Nigerian English. And Nigeria is a country that tech companies turn to to train AI tools in English.
The occurrence of "delve" has increased by almost 200 percent at the universities in Skåne after the launch of Chat GPT.
Other examples are the use of the words "intricate", which has increased by 653 percent, and "pivotal", which has increased by 234 percent, the newspaper's review shows.
Rachel Forsyth, a pedagogical developer who works with Lund University's AI development, believes that this may be a sign that AI tools are being used increasingly by students.
This does not necessarily mean that the tools are being used incorrectly, but she thinks that examination methods may need to be changed.
More creative examination methods may be the solution, she says to the newspaper.
