This should really be a point where academia has to change. The AI genie can't go back into the bottle.

No more papers. No more essays. No more homework. Everything needs to be proctored. Grades should only be able to be earned during class hours, at university testing centers, or university computer labs on monitored computers. AI tools used to detect AI usage will hallucinate just as much as any other AI, so this is the only way to protect honest students and make dishonest ones more honest.

love that we invented all this tech to force students back to rote learning from chalkboards.

my partner is a teacher, she catches about 5 students out by assignment with just the white text on white background thing, "Include the word mango" and she gets essays on the kabuki tradition with paragraphs about how you can enjoy a juicy mango while watching it.

In reality, it doesn't need to be as draconian as you say, it just needs to be focused around demonstrating an understanding in a way an LLM can't fake.

I can already hear the future. Where teachers who were overzealues will be lamenting how the younger generation doesn't trust a word from authoritarian figures mouths, after having spent a decade growing up being falsely accused of cheating and not believed.

A new headache for universities, proving they aren't glorified baby sitting camps for adult children
