AI tools like #ChatGPT will soon be capable of answering a large fraction of traditional university homework type questions with reasonable accuracy. In the long term, it seems futile to fight against this; perhaps what we as lecturers need to do is to move to an "open books, open AI" mode of examination where we give the students full access to AI tools but ask them more challenging questions, both to teach the material and also to teach the students how best to use the AI tools of the future.

@tao I agree with you.
I'm teaching ed tech to underclass ed majors this spring. Plan to harness student thinking to see if we can generate some positive #ChatGPT uses in the classroom for teachers and students. Should be interesting.
All this reminds me of the "calculators in the math class?" days
