How I changed teaching after AI managed to do all my homework assignments

    I dunno, if I had to teach students now I think I’d just force them to stay in the lecture hall without internet for the hour I need them to work on their assignments that week. I just can’t see any other reasonable way to do this. Everyone leaves their phones at the door in some designated locker or something.

      Why enforce effort rather than outcome? Just have exams be without phones.

      If someone manages to learn without doing the homework, or finds some way to learn better using an LLM, fine. The exam will show that.

        Because we're afraid students might lack self control, or be unable to evaluate how well they absorbed the material.
