Wouldn't the students just copy-paste the bit they can see? How does the hidden part get included?

    The hidden part is in the middle somewhere. Most likely hidden in a paragraph break. That way they include it when selecting all the visible text.

    Why would an essay assignment have multiple paragraphs of instructions?

    Control-a, control-c, control-p

    Select all, copy, paste

    I use it in command line where control v won't work.

    Ahh; 🧠. I usually just use ctrl + shift + v but that could come in handy where the other binding isn't available.

    Easiest method would be to just make the instructions as two paragraphs and type the prompt in size 1 white font between the paragraphs. As far as the document is concerned it would read as one paragraph. Set the font to white size 1.

    If you wanted to be very devious you could probably write, write the entire prompt in whitespace. But I kind of wonder if the ai would be able to notice it

    Could even just ask the AI to describe what they need to do if they are just giving it the file link. At this point, you could probably even just tell it to be aware of AI traps in the prompt (though an experiment with gpt 4-o mini just ignored the prompt to ignore anything out of context).
