‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

Students would want to learn instead of doing less work if there were incentives to learn instead of just get out with a degree.

Sadly, lockdown era students all got their WFH piece of paper they can safely wipe their asses with. We have never had so many grad students fail out as this cohort. They literally got degrees with no practical knowledge, tehn thought tehy could cost to a career with the same work ethic.

Well they're still getting jobs and are instead just learning on the iob

It seems AI is putting more light on this problem of the academic system not really being learning oriented.
Not that it matters. There was already enough light on it and now it's just blinding.

There are incentives to learn. The smartest kids do far better than the average kid.

Maybe in school

In the real world, the luckiest people do the best.

They just need to learn to make AI do it. Then they can do more than most.
