The AI Cheating Crisis: A Professor's Lament

The proliferation of AI tools like ChatGPT has led to a surge in student cheating. A California philosophy professor recounts the devastating impact on his teaching, as students use AI to generate essays, circumventing the learning process. While he explores various countermeasures, all prove limited. He argues that education transcends job training; it cultivates critical thinking and life understanding. AI cheating deprives students of this invaluable experience, ultimately harming both the students themselves and the fairness of the education system.
