Researchers create 30 fake student accounts to submit model-generated responses to real exams. Professors grade the 200 or 1500 word responses from the AI undergrads and gave them better grades than real students 84% of the time. 6% of the bot respondents did get caught, though… for being too good. Meanwhile, AI detection tools? Total bunk.

Will AI be the new calculator… or the death of us all (obviously the only alternative).

Note: the software was NOT as good on the advanced exams, even though it handled the easier stuff.

    Right? Can students use the internet on this test? Because the LLMs have the entire internet to search for the answers, and I guarantee you those textbooks and exam questions are online and searchable.

      I wonder how undergrads would do on the same exams given unlimited time and internet access but with LLMs blocked. That’s essentially what the LLMs have.
