I hated it when teachers would get narcissistic. But in universities it becomes a huge issue. There are computer science majors in my campus that are bored by math and programming so use chatgpt.

They are bored by the degree they chose themselves. So instead of changing degree plan or learning to enjoy it as a hobby like you would normally do, they just cheat.

Professors' workarounds are worse. Universities do not execute any "academic dishonesty" actions because they are the ones giving students free chatgpt account after a deal with openai.

So professors either use AI flaggers that give false positives and give everyone 0, or more commonly just give extremely hard exams to offset homework grade inflation.

I mean, a lot of people go into a degree because of the promise for jobs even if they aren't into it. Especially computer programming.

I was one, I could have tried getting a Software Design degree but everyone and their brother wanted to be a designer and there was like a tenth of the number of jobs available for such a position. So I went for software programming instead. Which turned out to be its own mistake.
