Rampant AI cheating is ruining education alarmingly fast?

The concerns about AI in education are understandable, as it can encourage shortcuts and weaken core skills if misused, but it’s also forcing a necessary rethink of how learning is assessed and valued, pushing institutions toward more meaningful evaluation and engagement; rather than causing total collapse, it’s more likely to drive adaptation and improvement over time, much like worn bearings in a system that create friction but ultimately highlight what needs to be fixed and refined for better long-term performance.

Thank you, the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.
 
I reported the bot. Notice the repetition of the "worn bearings" slop from the first post. Only slightly less annoying than the Happy Vertical People Transporters.

It shouldn't be hard. There used to be some tests with calculators allowed and some without them allowed and it didn't seem to be a problem. How about just keep your cell phone in your pocket and if you take it out, you fail?

It doesn't have to be that hard, just have most tests, no computer/phone and then at the end of the semester you have quick oral exams just to make sure you know how to "show your work"?

It's not necessarily hard, but universities will have to be willing to allocate for sufficient teaching staff and grad assistants to return to this. That's the challenge in getting the trend to move beyond well-endowed prestige schools to the bulk of state universities.

Indeed, I had not spotted that. In fact the first instance of this analogy, in post 10, makes no sense, since replacement of worn bearing is not “redesign rather than total failure”, just maintenance.
 
I just taught an electronics class, during which the kids all used AI to write the code for the lab for them AND to tell them how to wire up the lab. Two kids got it in under 15 minutes. Two others took the entire hour, but got it at the end. The rest fell somewhere in between. (And two gave up and started playing games on their laptop, but you can't win em all.)
