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.

    Nobody reads college student essays over the ocean.

    Anyway, you misspelled “were” and forgot to capitalize “I”. I will forgive your comma mistakes, because I am not in a position to correct commas in English.

    C-.

        In the near future or already, the skill of writing essays will be as useful as having neat hand writing or horse back riding. It’s great to know it, but it’s not going to be the industry standard outside of school.

        Fuck AI and all, but it will eventually become the standard tool for anyone who wants to put a lot of words on a page for whatever reason.

          Yeah, that’s a bad thing. People de-skilling themselves is like eating too much candy and getting diabetes.

          You should learn how to write, bstix. It’s enriching.
