Tests should not be a tool for authenticating learning. They were NEVER good tools for this and now its clearer why. Tests should be used for a teacher to help a student figure out where they need to focus. It should be like getting a blood test from a doctor unless they are testing for drugs why would you try to cheat with someone elses blood? We don't need to figure out how to sidestep the fundamental flaws with our institutional education we need to find and fix the root cause. Being "autheticated" as "knowing stuff" (your degree and GPA) doesn't translate into companies being able to tell if you can do a job. It didnt before AI and it doesn't now. Everyone should stop and think about how dumb it is that children and adults are trying to cheat at learning. You can't cheat learning. So why do people try and succeed? Because we arent actually asking for learning we are asking for something else.
