alt Hacker NewsI listened to an segment on the radio where a College Teacher told their class that it was okay to use AI assist you during test provided:
1. Declare in advance that AI is being used.
2. Provided verbatim the questions and answer session.
3. Explain why the answer given by the AI is good answer.
Part of the grade will include grading 1, 2, 3
Fair enough.

This is actually a great way to foster the learning spirit in the age of AI. Even if the student uses AI to arrive at an answer, they will still need to, at the very least, ask the AI to give it an explanation that will teach them how it arrived to the solution.
Props to the teacher for putting in the work to thoughtfully grade an AI transcript! As I typed that I wondered if a lazy teacher might then use AI to grade the students AI transcript?
That's roughly what we did as well. Use anything you want, but in the end you have to be able to explain the process and the projects are harder than before.
If we can do more now in a shorter time then let's teach people to get proficient at it, not arbitrarily limit them in ways they won't be when doing their job later.
It’s better than nothing but the problem is students will figure out feeding step 2 right back to the AI logged in via another session to get 3.
