My proposed solution to the academic cheating with Chat GPT

[Yavin4]

Since Chat GPT, and other applications like it, are here to stay. Here's my proposal for higher academia to leverage the technology. (No, I didn't ask Chat GPT for help.)

1. Assign an essay or a research paper.

2. Read the papers into a university's own AI tool.

3. Assign a personalized in-class exam based on the student's paper submitted in step 1. The exam would be a series of questions asking the student to further explain and expound on points made in the submitted paper.

This would force the student to demonstrate that they understand and know the material. If they cannot answer questions based on their own submitted papers, then it's an automatic fail.

1. Similar or identical to my core ideas

2. Homework is tough to police

I think it's going to be mostly about in-person exams moving forward.

3. Agreed .....

in-class written or oral exams can't be faked.

5. That's why under my proposal...

in class exams would be based on what the student wrote in their own paper.

10. Individualizing every exam for each and every student is a big ask of the academic staff nt

11. The university's own AI program will write the the individual exams.

Each student's submission will be fed into the university's AI program which in turn will create and grade the exam.

The internet has shown us that fighting progress is fruitless. The best way forward is to adapt the technology in your processes.

4. These suggestions will be probably added to the other many solutions that will be proposed to the

AI Chat GPT issue. My ? is, perhaps not a question per say, but issue, is what happens when businesses use Chat GPT for solutions?

Edit (later): That is, if businesses use Chat GPT anyway, so no matter what the students do or use, they're not facing a robust hiring market in the future anyways.

6. There will be less and less high paying jobs.

The jobs that will survive will mostly be maintenance on the AI algorithms that the business uses. Everything else will be handled by AI.

At that point, we're going to have to face some harsh questions about what our economy will be in a post-AI world.

7. Yes. The guys who dig math will always have a job. Some of my biggest challenges in IT when I was

in it were the algorithms we wrote. Very involved and complicated.

8. AI will write the algorithms

There just needs to be people making sure that it works through testing.

9. Not a bad idea.

12. Just replace school/university staff with AI

Then the school’s AI staff can grade the student’s AI work and just cut out all these human middlemen?

I’m kind of kidding of course but I think we aren’t to far away from remote AI-administered education.

13. It's not a bad idea but it's also a lot of class time wasted in test taking.
