"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I think it's not so steep if students are told beforehand. Tell them what counts as cheating. Tell them the consequences. Tell them it's serious.
In university I always had to sign a little text that informed us that we are not allowed to cheat and that doing so would lead to failing the test and potentially getting expelled.
Even if those students are told beforehand. Completely destroying any future chance on education because of a stupid thing they did once when you were young is not realistic.
Even in your example, they only get potentially expelled from a single school.
Yeah true. The blacklisting goes way too far.
Brother there isn't even a national sex offender registry. You want to treat students who use AI worse than we treat pedophiles?
You're right, you definitely should treat sex offenders way harsher.
Also if a school says "don't do X or you WILL fail the test and MIGHT get expelled" and then you proceed to do X then I think it's on you and not 'bad treatment' at all. Especially if you do X repeatedly.
I did have one student fail for using AI. It was such an awful submission.
I also had multiple students that I believe used AI to help in the creation of some assignments, but I built in presentations including Q&A to ensure they could speak to the subject.
No situation I came across was bad enough to warrant expulsion except for one case of blatant plagiarism in which a student had accessed another students computer and reworded a major assignment, but this had nothing to do with AI.
Bonus: I regularly ran in-class activities where I'd split the class into small groups on the Human side and on the AI side and give them the same tasks to complete. Humans always won.
