If your assignments are so easily circumvented by AI, you&#x27;re not actually teaching much I think.<p>The way I see it, either one of two options will happen:<p>1. Trust based assessments Everything will be continue as is now, only the students will be asked nicely not to use any AI in their learning, with the explanation that they&#x27;re only shooting themselves in the foot by not learning anything that will be required later in life.<p>2. Back to basics Everything will be paper-based again, with only in-person tests being used for grading. This sucks for a lot of reasons.<p>I don&#x27;t see the education field innovating in any way, especially if it means adding more work on top for teachers, in the form of designing tests specifically to be AI-proof. The entire educational system stands on the shoulders of low-paid, overworked teachers, who are burnt out already.
