A lot of professors I know are pivoting back to hand written proctored exams, oral presentations/q&s, etc because there's really no stopping the slop machine. A lot of professors are uncomfortable with doing something like reporting tons of students for cheating since you can't prove it easily, so that's their alternative.

Except one CS professor I know who failed 30% of his class on an exam, reported them all to student conduct, and sent the rest of the class a warning lol. He ain't having it.

The uni I attended is (depressingly) embracing LLMs and even they didn't stop in person exams...

To some extent, you have to embrace it. Students are going to use it anyway and the institution isn't going to let you fail 50% of your class every semester. There are good ways and bad ways to do it though and some professors are assigning things that try to get people to reflect on their AI usage, like asking multiple LLMs a question and comparing/contrasting their answers to pick them apart. It's really wreaking havoc on online courses in particular though, which is unfortunate because although I have my criticisms of them, they're a big boon to working adults who want to further their education or change careers.

designing tests where the llm will always get it wrong would be a good lesson about not trusting the things

Is this testing whether I'm a replicant or a lesbian?
