Anthropic’s own study on Claude use showed that people are using it to skip homework by synthesizing answers, although that admission is phrased more diplomatically.

As for this issue, I feel that this will resolve itself in one of two ways: either homework will be eliminated completely in favor of completing teacher assigned tasks in a device free classroom, or the easier but slightly more intrusive solution whereby homework is done on a digital device where a camera recording and typing speed are considered as a proof-of-work mechanism. Proctoring software already exists and it’d be relatively easy to extend them with such a feature.

The latter would be a disaster for privacy and I hope it becomes illegal.

Or homework is seen as a way for students to engage with the materials they are being learning about. Having an AI spoon-feed them the answers is not that different from students not doing the homework and failing the exams.
