[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is large loss of critical thinking going on as lazy students go directly to AI for homework and cheating on tests. They do not even provide attribution to using AI, yet it is beyond obvious.  So, so much cheating and toggling over to AI on tests.  Even some peers are turning in the cheaters.  They have lost motivation to even want to try to learn. It’s just a quick off ramp to hand in the next assignment with only about 10% of the kids desiring to really learn the material themselves.

Top colleges are not using online tests now, if they ever were other than covid year. Most do not use multiple choice paper tests either. The tests are in person in proctored or TA-monitored classrooms, short or long answer, or there are timed in class essays. There is no toggle to AI option with written exams. These same top schools are teaching use of AI and how it can be a tool. 
There is not cheating with the right plans by professors. Homework is often designed to be collaborative, and typically counts for zero to ten percent in college. Group work is encouraged. Just as before AI, if you let the smart kid do the work and you did not bother to learn it, you lose. If the group uses AI they all lose when it comes time to work problems individually on the tests, which are invariably much harder. [/quote]
