> There’s tons of ways like declaude etc to get around the check

How effective is this on the new fingerprinting mechanisms?

> Is the cheating epidemic so bad?

From what I’ve heard, yeah it’s out of control. And all the existing llm detectors that academics use have a high false positive rate, which catches a bunch of innocent students in the cross fire.

> it does feel like the assignment and ways education happens needs to change?

Why? Was there something fundamentally wrong with how universities teach and assess?

The sector is responding. For example by moving back to more in person exams and reducing the load of any take home exams. Is that good, for some reason?

> There’s something Orwellian about how the phrasing of a passage embeds hidden information

Interesting. I don’t have the same response. LLMs give me an acute sense of existential dread each time their capabilities improve. But fingerprinting doesn’t move me at all. Do some soul searching on why this bothers you. I’d love to hear why, and I bet you aren’t alone.
