This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
How stupid are these kids to not even be check the answer? That’s the biggest issue here lol
Well, it's always the stupid ones, that's why stuff like this is effective. You will never catch a good student cheating with that method
Its complacency, which is the worst thing to be engendering in the next generation.
Get them to the point that they don't know how to study or struggle, and you have a whole generation relying on your shitty LLM, and the dumber you are the less you know what you don't know until it's telling you what plants crave, sponsored by brawndo
This just in: 90% of people are literally retarded.
It's the human condition.
What a waste of money. Why go to school if you’re just going to use AI? What are you paying for?
A piece of paper you can get in front of your parents, then wipe your ass with.
Getting practice at ctrl-C, ctrl-V?
The piece of paper that companies keep demanding you have, despite their AI black box always filtering you out for hyper specific and arbitrary reasons?
The real answer is they're probably just lazy, but I wouldn't blame anyone who doesn't really value the work that goes into their degrees and diplomas anymore (not that I'm against post-secondary education, though)
No, the first thing you said was the real answer.
Oh no, that is super fucking lazy (I'm not even sure the word for it is lazy..), they are literally copying the assignment request into an LLM, pasting the answer without reviewing it (not even the slightest curiosity about what was written?) and they're done?
Headline should be 90% of students. I assumed the class was much larger and only 32 used AI. 90% is fucked.
Only 32 got caught using AI
This is really smart actually.
This is hysterical. Like the cheaters couldn't even be bothered to proof read what the AI wrote to make sure it was correct.
I knew things were bad, but this bad?
Earlier this month, a professor at Brown University saw midterm averages jump from the typical range of 65% to 80% to 96% after he allowed take-home exams. He estimated that all but two of his 86 students used AI to cheat.
Here saved you a click and and badly written "article"
In an online discussion post, Alcorn State University history professor Dr. Jason Gibson posed a question that represented part of his students' midterm. It was about the Industrial Revolution, but knowing how many students now rely solely on artificial intelligence for their answers, he secretly embedded instructions telling the AI to include information about Madagascar in a way that makes no sense.
Being written in white text meant the instructions were invisible.
(...)
Had any of these cheaters even bothered to check what the AI had generated, they'd likely have noticed the strange references to the island country constantly appearing in an essay about the Industrial Revolution.
I don't know that the article was all that badly written, but you missed a couple of points that I'd call essential:
One, it was 32 students out of 35 total who used AI and then didn't even bother to check it, so only 3 students even made an honest attempt in the entire semester.
Two, the professor told the students that they were allowed to contest the grade if they wanted, and only 2 out of the 32 students even tried to contest it.
I don't know that the article was all that badly written
Really? I thought it read like a Facebook post.
Regarding specific numbers, I guess they add context to severity, but as far as the headline and snippet of the OP my short snippet answers the bullshit clickbait, which was my intention.
I thought it read like a clickbait article that just quoted verbatim from the social media posts. But I didn't watch the videos, so I don't know how much the article writer left out or added to the story.
Also later in the article it mentions another professor who estimated that only 2 of their 86 students didn't use AI to cheat.
Like, what are we even doing any more?
