    Well, it’s always the stupid ones, that’s why stuff like this is effective. You will never catch a good student cheating with that method

        Checks out with my experience in university. I had like 3-4 classmates in software engineering that could program a simple program that ran. And this was before LLMs. You don’t even need to cheat to pass while being absolutely incompetent. Of course, some people also cheated.

      Some people are too smart to fall for it, and dumb people know they’re dumb, so they don’t try, because they know they’ll get caught.

      You need those special ones who are too dumb to actually learn, but still think they are smart enough to outsmart a system that is beyond the comprehension of their puny minds. In other words, MAGAs.

        Yes, MAGA would definitely fit the ‘fell for it again’ award, as would Democrats still trying to reform a party that openly rigged the primaries against left-wing populism - or really just centrist populism in global terms. (Not familiar with this source, sorry if it sucks but it includes the relevant direct quotes.)

        Why try and bring politics into this? That train of thought you just showed points to a lack of intelligence, such I guess must mean you’re “MAGA”, right?

          Everything has to do with politics right now, including ANYTHING to do with AI, and you obviously lack the intellectual foundation to understand that.
