The flava:
There’s a new agentic AI called Einstein that will, according to its developers, live the life of a student for them. Einstein’s website claims that the AI will attend lectures for you, write your papers, and even log into EdTech platforms like Canvas to take tests and participate in discussions.
Educators told me that Einstein is just one of many AI tools that can do homework for students, but should be seen as a warning to schools that are increasingly seen by students as a place to gain a diploma and status as opposed to the value of education itself.
If an AI can go to school for you what’s the point of going to school? For Advait Paliwal, Brown dropout and co-creator of Einstein, there isn’t one. . . .

In person testing.
ReplyDeleteWe're relying more heavily on in person testing where I am. You can find solutions to business case studies online and via ChatGPT easily so you can assume that most students are just copying and pasting. Oral exams would expose the cheaters but class sizes don't often permit that. They want the grade, a nice GPA for jobs and the degree. The education? Not so much in many cases.
