Remember when book reports ruled? Now they’re practically extinct 🤯. Take-home essays and tests have become the newest battleground in the AI era.
Teachers like Casey Cuny at Valencia High School in southern California say cheating is 'off the charts.' After 23 years of teaching, he's never seen students lean on AI so hard. 'Anything you send home, you have to assume is being AI-ed,' he warns.
To keep it real, Cuny locks down laptops during class 🔒 and brings writing inside the classroom. He’s even flipping the script by teaching students to use AI as a study buddy instead of a shortcut 🚀.
Students walk a fine line
College sophomore Lily Brown uses ChatGPT to outline essays and decode dense philosophy readings. She worries: is getting AI summaries or essay tips cheating? Her syllabus bans AI for writing, but the rules feel fuzzy.
New rules, new challenges
After banning AI tools post-ChatGPT, many schools are backtracking. 'AI literacy' is the hot term this school year. UC Berkeley now requires professors to spell out AI policies on their syllabi, and CMU experts say proving AI misuse is tougher than ever.
As AI reshapes education, everyone—from teens to teachers—must rethink what counts as cheating. The lines are blurring, but one thing’s clear: the future of learning is more connected with AI than ever before 🤔✨.
