    Computers with some encyclopedia, but no GPTs are fine, no?

    If a kid can write and train a mini-GPT trainable on that encyclopedia, then maybe they deserve the mark for desperation and ingenuity and being a fucking new Leonardo.

        No communication - of course, but about search - I don’t think having a Wikipedia snapshot with search is bad.

      GPTs are fine, if you learn to disrespect their output and fix it before presenting it as your own.

      Actually, taught that way, GPT may be a tool for teaching critical thinking - if the professors aren’t too lazy to mark down the garbage output.

        Only if the first draft is the student’s own creation otherwise they will never learn how to analyze a work and construct the argument theu want to make beginning to end.
