    Adding context, the nearly-perfect-marks midterm was a take-home exam. Not that chatbots aren’t a big problem in schools right now, but this same thing would’ve happened 15 years ago.

      Not the same at all.

      Take home tests are usually formatted in a way where it doesn’t matter if the student has access to textbooks, or even the internet, since they still need to synthesize a response (thinking specifically of essay questions here, but it’s not exclusive to them) that shows they understood the material.

      LLMs can now do that now. Or at least emulate that.
