[quote=Anonymous]The ultimate AI detector is how the kid does on the proctored exam... Sails through all the essays done at home, but can't put together an in-class handwritten response or flunks the AP? Kid gets what they deserve.

The kinds of classes where AI will get you ahead are the kinds of classes where any kind of cheating would have worked and probably aren't worth that much anyway.

I'm not dismissing the problem, I just think it's a problem that will solve itself.

Example: a coworkers kid is in college and complained that a classmate was supposed to be running a group discussion on a book—didn't read the book, got AI to develop discussion questions and answers, and smugly thinks he's going to get a good grade.

My response: if the class grade is based on the ability to generate a discussion question and answer, it's probably a pretty stupid class. And fi the teacher wants to prevent AI, require an in-class, proctored essay exam that's worth more than anything done out of class and possibly by AI. If a kid does the out of class work and learns things, they'll be fine. If the kid uses AI and learns things (possible!), they'll be fine. If the kid uses AI and doesn't learn anything, they'll flunk. [/quote]
