I thought the point of the MBA is the connections you make along the way?

There are two sorts of MBAs, as I understand it: One kind ticks a box at big organizations where promotion above a certain level strictly requires it. The other kind is for high-level networking, study, and development. If you want the latter, you have a pretty small pool of schools that you're interested in.

  Wharton being among that small pool, as far as I understand it.

    Certainly a compelling piece of evidence, here, to not allow the open internet or personal devices during tests designed to check how much someone has learned. Also curious to see if anyone has any luck asking ChatGPT for how to fix specific problems at their current companies, vs asking an MBA.

      Improving curricula, expecting more of students, and forcing the humans to compete with AI that ruins the curve would only help if the goal of the MBA program were education.

      I'd wonder if ChatGPT logs every answer it affords all users so that any testing institution could cross check with the Anti-Cheat ChatGPT paid service for educational and certification institutions.

        That’s unlikely to be how the system works, chatGPT by design is a probabilistic model meaning it’s very unlikely it’ll spit out the same output twice. The detectors probably use a vanilla language model that just recognizes the patterns in chatGPT discourse (which is very distinct)

        No, I mean does the system keep a record of every reply it provides such that someone could check to find if there was a match. Obviously a naive avoidance technique would be to re-phrase an answer. That said it can produce nearly identical answers to prompts such as: write a poem about subject A in the style of poet A; now write a poem about subject A in the style of poet B. Seems to provide [at least in limited tests] nearly identical answers.

        Currently, out of the box GPT answers are generally pretty easy to detect. https://openai-openai-detector.hf.space/ https://openai-openai-detector.hf.space/
