‘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.‘

Students would want to learn instead of doing less work if there were incentives to learn instead of just get out with a degree.

    There are incentives to learn. The smartest kids do far better than the average kid.

    Maybe in school

    In the real world, the luckiest people do the best.

    no way, all studies show students who do well academically out preform their peers post education.

    Did it mention and account for the economic class of the students?

    Sweet

    Then it would account for how the students who are luckiest have more successful lives.

    yes but thats besides the point. The point is that people do better in life if they do well in school. Pointing to a tiny subset of people and saying "but these people also do well" doesnt change anything and I genuinely think you're intentionally trolling.

    Sadly, lockdown era students all got their WFH piece of paper they can safely wipe their asses with. We have never had so many grad students fail out as this cohort. They literally got degrees with no practical knowledge, tehn thought tehy could cost to a career with the same work ethic.
