"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Its not a browser that locks down. It actual software that completely hijacks the computer so you cant exit the program until it is done. Can't get into the desktop at all like some malware.
You are making it seem more difficult than it is. Problem is already solved. By making it something open hardware and Internet might as well just give everyone a pass at that point and not complain about whatever tools are used when full access hardware is allowed to be used.
Students have phones and tablets. Lol
Yeah, I had them my professors didn't let us use them. Trying to sneak a look would lead to cheating and risk expulsion if caught. And cameras in some classes and multiple people like TAs walking around.
If laptop or tablets were used for exam taking they made us use programs like examsoft that locked down the hardware so you couldn't access internet, files, or other programs until you finished the exam.
Or it was open note, open laptop, internet, so professors didn't care at all what was used.
So all I see is zero effort of exam proctoring and then being baffled that students are cheating despite making the environment very easy to do so. It's like you are afraid to take away or restrict electronic usage during exams or the concept is so foreign to you.
Ah, if you do cameras on. I don't do live tests anymore anyway, but even with cameras, too many of my students are low income so their connections are crap. Having dealt with that myself, it's just unfair to do cameras on.
