Not to take away from the main story, but the student was clearly cheating on their homework with Gemini, directly pasting all of the questions.

We don't know that. The student might have been curious about how Gemini would answer after already doing their on work.

This is hardly news. LLMs spit out whatever garbage they want, and grad students already want to die.

It's indeed not news that a text generator is generating text. The saddest parts of the story is student cheating on an exam.

I graduated college a decade ago, but I have to admit, if I were still in school it would have been incredibly hard to resist using LLMs to do my homework for me if they existed back then.

Cheating themselves, maybe. Graded homework is obvious nonsense because incentives don't align and there's no reliable way to make them align and ensure fairness.

Hard to resist?

Why on earth would you lol.

It’s not significantly different from googling each question.

Can't we just teach them robotics laws?

With LLMs, that's honestly probably not a good idea. They're already well aware of the concepts, invoking them specifically places the whole conversation closer to the conceptual space of a sci fi novel, where those rules always go wrong for any of a thousand tropey reasons. It'd probably make these instances more likely, not less.

> They're already well aware of the concepts

Are you suggesting, despite many experts stating otherwise, that LLMs have awareness?

It's absolutely significantly different, especially for certain types of classes and problems.

> Why on earth would you lol.

Because school is hard, I was a kid, homework takes a ton of time, and I would rather be playing video games. Of course the temptation to cheat would be there.

Why is that sad? Students chest on exams all the time.

If students want to psy for college and chest on exams that really is their choice. If they're right, the test and the content on it aren't important and they didn't lose anything. If they're wrong, well they will end up with a degree without the skills - that catches up with you eventually.
