Summary
In this blog post, Ben Kuhn argues that virtually all students are cheating using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude, particularly in the context of take-home exams. He contends that the ease and commonality of AI usage for academic purposes have led to a widespread normalization of cheating among students, similar to how they might approach a personal trainer in a gym. Kuhn suggests that educators must acknowledge this reality to adapt their strategies and assessments accordingly.
