Back When Cheating Was More Honest

We all know that kids are using AI to write term papers, book reports. Not just high school kids, college students, people going for PhD's...it's all over the place.

But focus back on the high schoolers. Some teachers flunked the kids when they caught them using AI. 

Guess what happened? Their  parents...blamed the teachers!  "Hey, all the kids are doing it! You're picking on my kid. I'm calling my lawyer."

I'm not making this up. Many teachers gave up...and have started to use ChatGPT to grade the papers!

Step back for a second and think about this. There is no human input.
The kid never reads the book.
He has AI write the paper.
Emails it to the teacher.
The teacher copies it into ChatGPT.
ChatGPT reads it, grades it, sends it back.
The teacher never opens the file.
The kid gets a grade.
And since ChatGPT is grading something that it wrote...it's a good grade.

And we thought we were slick when we were in high school and used Cliff Notes? These days that's considered old fashion analog cheating. Now even the dullest kid can perform professional grade cyber fraud.

You think Skynet isn't watching? 

Skynet is smart. It may come to the logical conclusion: Why have humans in the loop at all? They're slow, they whine, some have...hygiene issues.

​Of course, not having to do anything will free up people to spend all day watching YouTube videos like: Whatever Happened to the Child Stars of 1970s Sitcoms?  Hint: nothing good. You will enjoy the video if you take pleasure in seeing the humiliation and downfall of people who at one time had things better than you. Which, let's be honest, is the primary purpose of the internet.

​Not that I would ever watch a video like that. My friend Bob told me about it.

All this and more are discussed in the upcoming blockbuster: Paperback Writer: Now Appearing at Bingo Night.

Because I've seen the future, and after the robots take over, Bingo Night might be the last place where people feel useful. 
More next week.
