Almost none of the cheaters appear to be solving problems with LLMs. All my faculty friends are getting large portions of their class clearly turning in "just copied directly from ChatGPT" responses.


It's an issue in grad school as well. You'll have an online discussion where someone submits 4 paragraphs of not-quite-eloquent prose with that AI "stink" on it. You can't be sure but it definitely makes your spidey sense tingle a bit.

Then they're on a video call and their vocabulary is wildly different, or they're very clearly a recent immigrant and struggle with basic sentence structure such that there is absolutely zero change their discussion forum persona is actually who they are.

This has happened at least once in every class, and invariably the best classes in terms of discussion and learning from other students are the ones where the people using AI to generate their answers are failed or drop the course.
