Higher education is destroyed by standardized testing. If you force every square peg to fill a round hole, there are going to be some people that go to absurd lengths to get a passing or perfect grade. It's been like this for a while now.
AI cheating is really the tip of the iceberg, here. High school and college educations heavily rely on cookie-cutter assessment programs that aren't just unreliable but also easily cheated on. The cynic in me says that it's the College Board's fault for doubling-down on bubbling tests and SAT scores when today's graduates all cheat their way through them anyways.
- threatofrain 2y agoIf you take away standardized testing then what you get is conventional cheating... and AI can cheat there too! But the worst part is that you cannot even say whether one pedagogical approach is better than another because measurements are now incommensurate.
- dwaltrip 2y agoHow does one cheat at the SAT? I get that there is a huge cottage industry of SAT prep, and while a little bit analogous, it definitely isn’t the same as cheating.
