@neilk@xoxo.zone I exclusively do take-home math tests and my colleagues keep telling me I should be afraid of students using LLMs to cheat.

For a low level class I do have to think about writing the questions in a way that can't be answered by WolframAlpha. For a proof-based class I have to think about students searching stack exchange and finding the exact question or something very close.

On the other hand, I do
not write my test questions with LLMs in mind. When I finish writing the questions I do feed them into Google Gemini and Microsoft ChatGPT just to check, and both LLMs consistently fail to earn even partial credit.

I don't believe students using LLMs to "cheat" on math assignments is a real issue, at least not at the college level.
