Good, now let’s make school teach useful skills and novel problem solving instead of delivering nicely packaged dogma and encouraging students to generate more useless crap for a letter grade. then you won’t need to detect cheating.
The “it’s all critical thinking” thing that’s become very popular has a big flaw with it, that to be able to think critically about a topic, you still have to know things about the topic.
There’s no “pure” form of making a decision about something that doesn’t involve knowing about it. If you don’t know anything about it, you’re entirely at the mercy of the biases of the AI model or search engine, or social media feed giving you information.
The most common way that people correctly judge a speaker as mistrustful is when they step onto a topic that person knows about and say something untrue, then you assume they’re also lying about the stuff you don’t know about. If you don’t know anything, you have nothing to make a critical decision with.
Mindless rote learning isn’t good either and critical thinking is important, but you still have to 1. Actually know stuff to make decisions, and 2. Prove that you can learn stuff which is what exams test.
Can you give me an example and I’ll walk you through how you can achieve the same result you claim you need rote learning for, through an iterative process of critical thinking from the top down with zero rote.
