     @arstechnica And then when these students get real jobs, they rely on and are heavily encouraged to use online resources, other people, books, notes, etc.. to get their important work done.

     The idea of "cheating" in school is a load of crap. Schools don't care about real learning, they just want to churn out quiz show contestants.

     @arstechnica I interviewed someone remotely for a job today and it was clear they did not know or could not answer any of the questions. Every answer started off with stalling and then a vague jumble of words that were obviously being read all without comprehension. I am convinced they had a speech to text program piping in the interview questions to ChatGPT and then simply reading the response.
