‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

That's a nice ideal but the reality is that this world is cruel and we're burdening future generations with debt for their degrees and the job market sucks. If reality was different, then maybe kids could enjoy learning in college. But it's not, so they need to make sure they are capable of being good little sheep that can do what the C suite wants otherwise they're going to be in poverty and debt for the rest of their lives with very little safety net.

US here, in case it wasn't obvious.

    You hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is the cost of education in the US.

    But not all of the world is such a capitalist hellscape as the US is, where people were embezzled of affordable living, healthcare and education.

    That doesn't make the concept of education a bad one. The framework in which it's implemented is to blame and the people who created said framework.
