Shelley says he is convinced the majority of the 288 students in his health-care law course cheated on their April 24 final exam using AI.

“I had eight per cent of my class receive 100 per cent on the multiple choice. Fifty-five per cent scored over 90 per cent. I’ve never seen marks like that in 20 years of teaching,”

The tenured professor, who has spent 10 years at the London, Ont., university, says he decided not to use proctoring software because he believes it does not prevent cheating.

It’s nuts to think that these are 3rd year health-science undergrads who will soon be out there in the world having only learned an over-reliance on AI.

What is insane is these assholes are getting into medical school. In a few years, you'll have to ask your doctor how many Rs are in Strawberry.

Q: What do you call the person who graduated bottom of their class at medical school?

A: Doctor.

But they're not going to pass medical school, at least.

A huge waste of money and time, of course, but there are checks and balances on professions.

And good luck passing a job interview if they never learned anything in school because they cheated the whole way through. And, even if they do land a job, almost every job has something like a 3-month probation. You can't take it with AI professionally, if anyone's paying attention.

You'd be surprised about the passing of medical school... also at what an interview for someone applying for a job after getting a degree where they'd be taking health science law. Add in that many jobs need only a smidgen of the knowledge you learned at school, and the rest is trained, they'll pass the 3 month probation. It sucks, but it'll happen.
