@coolandnormal@aus.social I think in general regardless of any views on AI itself this situation is absurd, unfair, and overall demonstrates just about everything wrong with universities as they have become today. We care so much about "cheating" things that should only be there to help guide better student learning and reflect their progress (despite not letting students improve themselves afterwards and reflect that improvement, thus making it a punishment). We overload students with more work than they could possibly reasonably accomplish while partaking in all the other activities that schools have to offer. We teach students based solely on accreditations made up by someone somewhere else and often omit both necessary job knowledge and focus too much on job training instead of overall education. And then we punish students for trying to grasp at any tools they might find to try and escape this. After having pushed them there in the first place. The business model of sites like Chegg are entirely reliant on this and now AI companies are profiting off the same disparities. I found that the more advanced your topics were the more likely you were to have weird homework questions that no tutor could assist with. What tools does a stuck student even have anymore at that point?
