So apparently nearly all students cheat with AI chatbots now and basically aren't learning anything https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/openai-chatgpt-ai-cheating-education-college-students-school.html

I'm grateful I got my education before these tools were available.

Still, part of this might be that education might be best if it's not actually based around grading, but working with students to actually be excited about learning

But there's no way such a worldview will be rolled out in time to survive this

Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

ChatGPT has unraveled the entire academic project.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Precisely. If the goal of the class is to pass the test, people will seek the path of least resistance. Also this is an easy setting for the educators, since the burden is on the students.

If the goal of the class is to make students interested in a topic and have them learn most, much more of the burden is on the educator to think about how to facilitate that.
