Cheating in academia is the name of the game. There is a survivor bias here assuming the other 78 students didn't cheat. They're Learning how to not get caught. Building a better trap may simply yield a better better cheater. The proof ends up being in the work.
I still think honeypots are amusing AF.
I have average intelligence and maintained a 3.5 at a top bioengineering school. I barely went to lectures, and just made sure to stay on top of the material through online resources (we have literally everything ever available to us). Id say not being a dumbass is the name of the game.
It always surprises me when I interview new graduates now and they can't explain any of their projects or pass a basic software proficiency test that most intro classes should cover (I usually ask them to write code to reverse complement a DNA sequence.. just swap out some letters and reverse a string, I do include the rules in the prompt). I think cheating is really rampant in software students.
I graduated from software engineering but still until this point, I loathe using one of the chatbots to make the code I want to make work on my own. I've used it twice to ask about how to organize a big software project but that was it. I am just a couple years older than the interns at my office but...damn...they are abusing chatgpt to get stuff done, albeit barely, because intern intelligence never ceases to amaze, and it's funny to watch.
If they wanna cheat, they should at least learn or practice that which they try to cheat xd
Luckily chat bots are hot garbage at logic. They have no clue what they're doing at all, most of what they say is just easy/popular sources that don't work or at worst sorta work but will create huge bugs. Sure ai will get better, but imo chatgpt/llm won't replace real eng cause it sources from dumbasses like me
