people need to stop assigning genAI more credit than it deserves 😭 it's spicy autofill. it cannot do lateral thinking for shit nor give you more than what you put in. it is not anymore dangerous than students using cheat strategies that already exist, like chegg or copying a friend's homework. which aren't great either! you don't want anyone cheating, especially not in those fields! but chatgpt and other genAI is not helping students cheat more effectively than they already did, it very literally cannot hold or understand these concepts nor mimic it well enough to pass exams.
also, while I can't speak to which measures other professions use, part of engineering's safety check systems involve multiple sign-offs from licensed engineers, which is a certification program that requires minimum a bachelor's degree, four years of working under a professional engineer (an already licensed engineer, who's also required to continually maintain said license), two rigorous exams, and earn a license from a state licensure board. people know fuck ups in engineering can lead to a lot of destruction, injury, and death, and they've reacted accordingly to implement new safety measures to try to prevent new disasters from occuring, which also include measures to keep people who take shortcuts or cheat egregiously out of sign-off positions. genAI can't help people skirt around those.
I agree that cheating is bad and we absolutely want to discourage it for all students, but LLMs (and genAI overall) are just not that good at doing anything other than chatting or acting as a scribe; it's not going to suddenly compromise the safety systems we have in place right now.
