A professor used white font to hide instructions to throw off students using an AI chatbot to cheat on their midterm.

    That professor was more charitable than I would have been, not failing all those students out of the entire class immediately.

      Back when I was in university, if you got caught cheating, you got expelled immediately. Now, all you get is possibly a slightly lower score on your midterm?

      This is bullshit

      I hate how many posts on LinkedIn are “AI is inevitable, we might as well use it everywhere”… um, no. Develop critical thinking and the ability to do it on your own and then, maybe, just maybe, use it as a tool, not a replacement.

        I hoped it was obvious when I said “all those students” I was talking about the ones that were caught blatantly cheating.

        Because my guess is that you don’t understand why you’re being downvoted:

        You don’t have to cheat to fail a test. Some people take a test and fail. That happened for three people.

          No, I’m pretty sure he had 35 students total take the exam and that 32 of them failed. I think that the person above me meant to say all of the students which cheated should be failed from the entire class not just the test, but it not being explicit caused confusion.
