I had seen people paying for services to write research for them.
I had seen people translate research papers from foreign languages(Like Russian for example) to English to avoid doing any work.
And even much more methods were used in college.
The reality is people can’t seem to understand how broken are education systems and how science had flows that are only now brought to light and studied.
While AI made fraud more accessible for sure and made the problems worse, it’s only a sign of how much education were broken before it.
In my eyes, the last years put a bright spotlight on degrees worth that a lot of companies had started valuing them less and most probably the value of official degrees will keep falling down as the years pass by.
Your title is wrong anyway. We had like 10% of cheaters before because it was hard to cheat, you could get caught, and there was some moral barrier to do that. Now, you only need a Google account to cheat, and I’m pretty sure that the rate of 50% of students cheating is pretty accurate.
Yes, but it’s not an excuse for that huge increase. There was way less cheating before, AI enabled it.
