Or at least give students computers that have restricted or no access to the internet? Even before LLMs having access to the internet would have been a huge opportunity to cheat. At least in most subjects.

Also, what happened to teachers/supervisors walking around and checking if the students cheat? Back when I went to school we also cheated with cheat sheets or exchanging answers but it was always risky because getting busted meant failing the test (or worse).

Letting students use the internet unrestrictedly would be like the teacher leaving the room and letting us unsupervised for the duration of the test back in my days.

Yeah I did this with C and it was stressful, but the marks are usually graded more leniently if its clear you just got a function name mixed up for example.

"Open book" or internet tests or tests you wrote at home were much harder because they know you have all the resources

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.
