> Students will generate an LLM text, and then copy it out. If you lock down their machines, or university networks, then they'll access the LLMs another way. It's cat and mouse games all the way down, and we'll never win. I think this is more a product of low standards than anything else. Let's bring the mean down to 2.0GPA. Not everyone should pass. Not everyone should graduate. Failure delivers valuable lessons, too. But I'm sorry, throwing up our hands and saying "oh well, I guess cheating is the norm now" is fatalist BS. > Reading complex texts, and learning and imitating good writing, teaches people how to write. And, you know, that only works when they want to a) read complex texts, and b) learn how to write well. I agree with this. Inspiration is super important, and inculcating a love of learning and the life of the mind is the whole ballgame. If the vast majority of students aren't in this boat, and instead they're just trying to check a box to graduate, the whole thing is super broken. But that doesn't mean it can't be fixed, and it doesn't mean we should lower standards in the face of a threat like LLMs. Instead we should raise them.
