Probably. I'm not sure myself.

It is, because I'm becoming tired with the current AI hype. It lasts too long to be funny.

OTOH, professor talking with a student is a good way to assess the academic performance of the student, but there are some caveats beyond costs. For example, professor will struggle to be an objective judge. Moreover even if they succeed, they would face accusations of discrimination in any case.

AI could solve this problem, but I'm not sure if AIs will be up to a task of leading the discussion. Though maybe if you try to assess students on their ability to catch AI on a hallucinated bullshit...

Why not have the testing done externally, by really neutral persons?

But AIs and especially LLMs are way too unreliable for the foreseeable future.


Actually deliberately introducing confidently delivered and reasonable sounding bullshit sounds like a fantastic way to suss out who knows their topic.
