It is no longer effective to solely use a written essay to measure how deeply a student comprehends a subject.

AI is here to stay; new methods should be used to assess student performance.

I remember being told at school, that we weren't allowed to use calculators in exams. The line provided by teachers was that we could never rely on having a calculator when we need it most—obviously there's irony associated with having 'calculators' in our pockets 24/7 now.

We need to accept that the world has changed; I only hope that we get to decide how society responds to that change together .. rather than have it forced upon us.

We blasted through the “you won’t always have AI in your pocket” phase in a blink of an eye. Local LLMs were running on smartphones before the world got to terms of LLMs being used everywhere. It’s one of many examples of exponential technological advancement.
