Big Data Is Dead

All math homework through the high school level is now as simple as figuring out how to describe it to ChatGPT (or maybe ChatGPT 2.0 for particularly tricky examples). Paper-writing is now a matter of figuring out how to rephrase LLM output in your own words to get around any watermarking or pattern detection.

Wolfram alpha has been around for math cheats (and people like me who just needed a more visual representation to learn) for a while now. Including proof of work.

Years before wolfram alpha, we had TI-89s with computer algebra systems for cheating your way through highschool math.

Oh yeah, it's why most of my classes restricted us to TI-83s. The TI-89 was restricted in schools to basically calc and above, and the TI-92 was just banned. Lol

In my school TI-89s were unrestricted, but I think that was mostly because teachers were only trained with 83s and assumed the 89 had equivalent capabilities. The SAT permitting the 89 probably had something to do with it too, since the 92 was banned (because qwerty as I understand it.)

You can't figure out how to describe a math problem correctly to ChatGPT without already knowing the solution.

Maybe this should give you a hint that said work is completely pointless and merely exists to waste student's time.
