Do AI detectors work? Students face false cheating accusations

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.

Written assay evaluation is not and has never been an effective evaluation. It was always a cost saving measure because allocating 30min face to face time with each individual student for each class is such a gigantic cost for the institution that they cannot even imagine doing it. Think about that the next time you look at your student debt, it couldn’t even buy you 30min time per class individually with the teacher to evaluate your performance. Instead you had to waste more time on a written assignment so they could offload grading to a minimum wage assistent.

Well, that's not necessarily true. I was perhaps the most importunate student ever, and lingered around my professor's offices whenever they were open. I had endless questions, off topic and on. I was curious sure, but I was also annoying and pushy and wouldn't take no for an answer.

In fact, the only reason I use the word 'importunate' to describe myself, is because that's what my undergrad advisor called me.

So I at least was able to get well over 30m with each professor to discuss whatever I wanted. But likely that's b/c there wasn't a lot of competition.
