The more I see of AI the more is just seems like automated, opaque, statistics. And while statistics are generally useful and efficient we also know the human side of "statistics tell us people who look like you are the problem"... I also think this is just one my symptom of a much bigger problem: big US institutions trying to automate human things. I was lucky to be part of a class of 60 (Exeter, UK, Physics). Core modules were a max of 60 people in the class and options ranged from 10 to 30. I knew basically all the professors. The concept of anticheat was anathema to us because people each other. If a student gave in top grade work but couldn't hold a conversation or pass an exam it would have been pretty obvious. This also likely discouraged people from trying. Now that's not possible in a class of 600...
