I think oral exams would be better, even though they aren't scalable. Asking a person a follow up question live is the best way to test knowledge. You would need a traditional way to cheat if you wanted to use ChatGPT during an oral exam. I don't think teachers are going to be able to detect cheating. Teacher do a very poor job of catching traditional cheating already. The severe consequences of cheating are because fear is the only meaningful tool left to deter students. But since you're already starting with the most extreme punishments possible, there's no way to escalate consequences further. ChatGPT is about to quote passages accurately, even though it produces the same quote for many different prompts. I only asked it questions from 1984, it might produce incorrect quotes for other books. How can a teacher reasonably argue that the quote was chosen by ChatGPT and not the reader? You would have to confiscate all electronics and not allow any bathroom breaks during the testing period as a bare minimum.
