Students are relying on AI so heavily that universities are being forced to fundamentally rethink how they grade their work.
England’s higher education regulator, the Office for Students, is warning universities that they may need to replace traditional take-home essays and open-book exams with supervised assessments that prevent students from relying on artificial intelligence to do their work.
AI-detection tools are too unreliable to consistently determine whether students have used the technology, the OfS said in a report published Wednesday.
I went to India in the early '90s and happened to see a small software shop that had five programmers and one PC. The programmers wrote all their code with pencil and paper and the secretary typed it all into the computer. I want to say that this explains a lot about the quality of offshore code, but it probably doesn’t.
I myself just caught the tail end of the punch card era. It was actually kinda fun to sit at home with just a stack of cards and create working (hopefully, you wouldn’t know for days) code.
