The experience, in many ways, was emblematic of his time at the university, he says.
AI, no matter how it turns out in the future will be in textbooks or whatever is left of them one thousand years from now.

If anything, the AI cheating crisis has exposed how transactional the process of gaining a degree has become. Higher education is increasingly marketised; universities are cash-strapped,
This is a horrifyingly bold statement.
-
They all agreed that a shift to different forms of teaching and assessment – one-to-one tuition, viva voces and the like – would make it far harder for students to use AI to do the heavy lifting.
When we talked about the blue books in class, I definitely quietly wished in my head that school could go back to how I remember it ten years ago.

using it for an “overview of new concepts”, “as a collaborative coach”, or “supporting time management”.
There should be a course on this so people who do not know much about technology can use this tool.

-
ever created an account with ChatGPT? How about Grammarly? Albert didn’t feel able to defend himself until the end, by which point he was on the verge of tears.
This is where I get confused because it is a tool that can be used and misused, and most school tools (i.e. rulers, calculators, textbooks) do not have the ability to completely cheat for you.
-
It might not have been his best effort, but he’d worked hard on the essay. He certainly didn’t use AI to write it
