Are you a teacher/professor? How are truly things going with AI? I see my nephews using YouTube to learn how to solve math problems (9 and 13) and I'm honestly worried how things will be by the time my son gets older.
It's truly depressing
Things are bad. They're coming in completely unprepared in some cases, and even our IT people are pushing AI to be used in blackboard (free "for now", with promises of "a great deal" when prices happen).
Students are suing Chegg, AI, and whatever else they can to not do any actual work. I can ask in an online discussion about what they did (a for-fun check-in question with no stakes) andnreceive multiple identical posts with different wording. I'd rather get the old bullshit "I agree with your post, Jennifer." Unsubstantive posts.
My team's playing with making exams worth more and required in-person again. At the moment, they're mathematically insignificant in my courses but online and open for a few days at a time. Scores are high, but range from like 30-100. They're entirely unmonitored... I have students ask if it's cheating if they use their notes. These kids have no fucking clue sometimes.
I have an advanced course in my workload and I require in-person exams (I'll even answer questions, during)... average scores these past two semesters were around 68. This is an advanced intro course and they're doing well while we cover the material.
