View submission: Study: 94% Of AI-Generated College Writing Is Undetected By Teachers
There are 42 students in my engineering class, that's 21 hours for a single test.

Yes, people don't understand that this is a problem of scale. There aren't enough teachers to go one-on-one for each student, and then complain when technology is used to balance the load. Community and trade colleges would have shifted the balance towards spreading a bunch of students in different career paths, but we are too in the weeds to make course correction.

Damn and that's small, most of my classes were 50-200.

First level screening is done by talking to an AI. Recordings viewed by TA. Terrible but possible.

I’m talking about in-depth, asynchronously written essays that would take an equivalent amount of time to read and grade. Usually those are turned around a week or so later anyway—it’s a lot of work.
Does your engineering class do tests and exams at home? Wouldn’t that open them up to old-fashioned cheating anyway?

I find it funny that the *engineering student* can only find a problem without a solution here, instead of being able or willing to try to think up ways it *could* work, you just tap out and go "this number looks scary on paper, surely the issue is insurmountable".
