How is anyone using ChatGPT in an exam? Surely exams are taken in controlled conditions?

    Most of my exams have been online with no proctoring... Hell most of them are meant to be open note I think. That or my class just does a final project or paper rather than an exam. I've only had a few in person on paper final exams, and one online proctored exam where you have to scan your surroundings before testing.

    I hate AI so I'd never use that to cheat (plus that shit is obvious and often wrong anyway), I just look at my own notes because I wrote them for a fucking reason. But like most of my exams or papers could've been done with AI I guess. Or like someone said go to the bathroom with your phone, as I've never had to hand over my phone before an in-person exam.

    Honestly highschool was more serious about devices when I took state tests/finals and the ACT, they either took it or it had to be in a bag completely turned off, and if you did take a bathroom break (which was HIGHLY discouraged and I think only available during certain times), you had to hand over your phone.

    That is absolutely wild.

    When I was at uni (2016-2019), you had to leave all of your belongings behind in a designated area, and only carry a clear/transparent container with your pen(s) to the exam room. You could optionally bring a clear water bottle (label removed.)

    If you ask to use the bathroom, there is no opportunity to go back to your belongings.

    In my uni you could pee when you handed in your test. Unless you got disability accommodation (I got a separate room so I could pace while I thought because adhd) where you had to hand over your phone and everything else not necessary for the test.
