I don't think many social systems are equipped to deal with it though.

- Recruitment processes are not AI-aware and will definitely won't be able to identify the more capable individual hence losing out on talent

- Police departments are not equipped to deal with the coming wave of complaints regarding cyberfraud as the tech illiterate get tricked by anonymous LLM systems

- Universities and schools are not equipped to deal with students submitting coursework completed by LLM hence missing their educational targets

- Political systems are not equipped to deal with subversive campaigns using unethical online entertainment platforms (let's not called them social media please) such as FB and they are definitely not equipped to deal with those campaigns when they boost their effectiveness with LLM at scale

Yes, and it seems to me that at least democracies haven't really figured out and evolved to deal with the Internet after 30 years.

So don't hold your breath !

schools have had to contend with cheating for a long time, and no-device-allowed sitting exams have been the norm for a long while now

The amount of cheating and ease of it has gone way up based on my monitoring of teaching communities. Like it's not even close in terms of before ChatGPT vs. after ChatGPT.

Worse yet many educators are not being supported by their administration since enrollments are falling and the admin wants to keep the dollars coming regardless of if the students are learning.

It's worse than just copying Wikipedia because plagarism detectors aren't as effective and may never be.

It's an arms race and right now AI cheating has structural advantages that will take time to remove.

Yes, but "no devices allowed sitting exams" address all of the ChatGPT cheating concerns.

But that does nothing for homework or long term projects where you can't control the student's physical location for the duration of the work.

You could do a detailed interview after the work is completed, to verify the student actually understands the work they supposedly produced. But that adds to the time spent between instructors and students making it harder to scale classes to large sizes. Which may not be a completely bad thing.
