Sometimes it feels like there is a chance that they win this game. Get big fast so you are too big to jail by the time the slow system catches up to it.

The other day there was a post[1] implying that AI effectively forcing one teacher to make tests AI proof, which basically took out the chances of anyone doing the test without AI. The use of AI for coding has probably got itself stuck in such a dependency loop. So the AI companies seem to have stumbled upon a perpetual inflation mechanism.

I really don't understand this problem. Why can't tests go back to being proctored, pen-and-paper affairs? That's how 90% of tests have worked for all but the last 10 years of human history.

Then students fail and complain they weren't taught properly, per the post.
