I've been spending a lot of time thinking about #ChatGPT and academic assessment and why I am not so concerned about it (at the college level). It's not that ChatGPT is bad for education. It's that our education system is built upon a basis wherein we do assessment wrong.
What @hoffman writes in his blog below comes close to how I think of things (thanks for saving me a lot of time writing my thoughts down!)

@Riedl @hoffman Now that I've read the article, Hoffman is correct, but he also passes the buck on the matter of professional success. If the student doesn't learn, his fellow professionals (or his conscience) are expected to weed him out, not Uni. It is somewhat assumed that he's hurting himself. He won't be able to rise/succeed if he hasn't learned, it's his loss. But life (and work) is not like that. The odds are different for a learned professional vs a bad one, but not *that* different.
