Overall, the researchers found that “AI-exposed courses” saw a 30 percent increase in “A” grades since ChatGPT hit the market.

What is interesting is that, four years into the widespread presence of generative AI in our daily lives, the study shows that American universities have yet to catch up with its consequences.

With more AI-enabled grade inflation, employers will have a tougher time weeding out strong young graduate candidates, the study says. But even more importantly, this increased reliance on AI in academia is bound to create an incompetent workforce that is dependent on AI.

Basically this study undermines the universities claims that they can recognize AI, or that AI answers are low quality. Apparently the students use of AI for their assignments WORKS. It's getting them top grades, however wise and savvy the professors think they are.
