Students are relying on AI so heavily that universities are being forced to fundamentally rethink how they grade their work.
England’s higher education regulator, the Office for Students, is warning universities that they may need to replace traditional take-home essays and open-book exams with supervised assessments that prevent students from relying on artificial intelligence to do their work.
AI-detection tools are too unreliable to consistently determine whether students have used the technology, the OfS said in a report published Wednesday.
The student is only part of the equation: If they were never given the tools to learn to begin with, that’s on society more than it is the student. I do agree though: One can obtain a degree without actually having received an education.
I think most people just don’t engage analytically no matter what tools you give them. My sister & I went to the same exact schools and she ended up a homeschooling anti-vaxer.
I think even many people who are willfully ignorant can be reached, but things have to kind of line up for it to work. The odds of that happening in an educational system that has been gutted are much lower, which is probably what the assholes doing the gutting are counting on.
