You can't put the genie back in the bottle.

You're going to be better off getting to educate students about the tools. How easy it can be to get them to generate fake data, how to actually use the tools to help improve understanding, how to avoid relying on them to much.

As an example: I was messing around with chatgpt months ago and talked it into creating a counter to the theory of general relativity called the theory of specific relativity. To many, including myself, it had enough BS to be at least partially plausible.

There are going to be students who just use AI generated content inappropriately (writing full assignments) regardless. Cheaters are going to cheat. Cheaters who wanted to could already just pay someone else to do assignments for them for grades.

I also expect that we're going to see institutions change how they do exams and assignments to help solve the issues that mass available AI creates.

People said similar things about electronic calculators when they were first produced en-mass. Yet maths survived as a subject.
