You can go back to requiring home assignments be written by hand. It won't completely fix the AI issue, because you can still ask ChatGPT and then rewrite it, but it helps because it's very tedious and time consuming, so the benefit is much lower.

If that is not enough, we may have to stop grading take-home papers. Which is a good idea anyway.

The educators will adapt. They might use AIs to grade papers written by AIs.

Or, do what my kids' school did for some classes. Instead of teaching in class and then assigning homework, the homework will be reading a text book and classroom time will be spent writing essays by hand, doing exercises, answering questions, etc...

Then they should be flunked. It sucks but parents need to enforce real learning. Schools can't be the sole "responsible" entity here. This is not the instructor's fault and school admin needs to push back. We as a society need to push back otherwise it all falls apart. Not everyone can be a blue collar worker, and most of the BC workers I know tend to be decent at math at least in those items that are part of their work, which they certainly couldn't have picked up if they didn't at least know some basics arithmetic

Maybe this is the answer to the fermi paradox. Intelligent life eventually invents the LLM, education collapses, dumb people empowered by technology destroy the environment.

> Its very demoralizing for her, she has to spend a lot of time reading written essays generated by AI.

I think that obvious solution is for them to write those essays in school.
