ChatGPT shakes universities as lectures and assignments fade

Testimony from university classrooms suggests that as generative AI spreads, instructors are spending more effort detecting misconduct than teaching. An instructor of asynchronous online classes said ChatGPT has changed grading and assignment management, with more students submitting AI-generated work. The instructor warned this can undermine learning by replacing thinking processes. Similar patterns are appearing in quiz results and coursework, prompting renewed interest in oral or handwritten exams, though these are hard to apply online.
