Exactly. There's a big difference between a student having a back-and-forth dialogue with Claude around "the extent to which feudalism was one of the causes of the French Revolution.", versus another student using their smartphone to take a snapshot of the actual homework assignment, pasting it into Claude and calling it a day.
From what I could observe, the latter is endemic amongst high school students. And don't kid yourself. For many it is just a step up from copy/pasting the first Google result.
They never could be arsed to learn how to input their assignments into Wolfram Alpha. It was always the ux/ui effort that held them back.
THe question is would those students have done any better or worse if there hadn't been LLM for them to "copy" off?
In other words, is the school certificaftion meant to distinguish those who genuinely learnt, or was it merely meant to signal (and thus, those who used to copy pre-llm are going to do the same, and thus reach the same level of certification regardless of whether they learnt or not)?
