Students are relying on AI so heavily that universities are being forced to fundamentally rethink how they grade their work.

England’s higher education regulator, the Office for Students, is warning universities that they may need to replace traditional take-home essays and open-book exams with supervised assessments that prevent students from relying on artificial intelligence to do their work.

AI-detection tools are too unreliable to consistently determine whether students have used the technology, the OfS said in a report published Wednesday.

    The point of an essay is that a person may, accurately and succinctly, convey a complex idea to a stranger across an ocean using only the written word. Which is half the point of literacy. Where I to hire a college grad who couldn’t compose an email about a complex, nuanced subject, i would think real hard about hiring any alums of theirs.

    Knowing stuff isn’t enough. You have to be able to present it in a communicable fashion.

      Nobody reads college student essays over the ocean.

      Anyway, you misspelled “were” and forgot to capitalize “I”. I will forgive your comma mistakes, because I am not in a position to correct commas in English.

      C-.
