  6. Brown professor says students used #AI to cheat — and made this ‘very basic strategic mistake’

    Serrano knew something was “fishy” when several tests came back with an identical circuitous answer to a mathematical question, instead of the simpler response it warranted. His suspicions were piqued when he saw the grade distribution and confirmed when a teaching assistant fed the question through ChatGPT, which solved the problem the same way.

    Among the 86 students in “Welfare Economics and Social Choice Theory,” the average score on the midterm was 96, and nearly half of the students earned a perfect 100. In previous years, the average midterm grade ranged from 65 to 80.

    If his students’ first error in judgment was trying to game a game theorist, their second was assuming no one else would think to do the same — “a very basic strategic mistake”

  10. @technews I'd like to think that striking chart is due to non-cheating reasons, like testing conditions lowering stress and permitting better thought. But a mass-cheating explanation would be an extremely serious academic matter.

    Brown is a great place, and I expect everyone there to honor that with integrity.

The average score on the midterm was unusually high, leading Serrano to believe that ChatGPT was used to generate answers.
