Many freaked out when Antropic reported they were going to watermark AI generated text because they'll be caught quickly.
People in software development who use AI to code don't realize how many white collar mid level admin people have started totally phoning it in using LLMs. I'm mildly curious to see how long they can ride this out.
Before the pandemic, two of my coworkers were first year law students together at the local university. The teachers discovered a cheating ring of 170+ students in their class of something like 200 students.
They just made them take a new version of the most recent exam and there was no other punishment, because it was too devastatingly large a portion of their students to expel them all, even though that was their stated policy.
I suspect something similar will happen with AI, and it will be just as disappointing.
85% of law students have poor ethics. Yeah, that sounds about right
