Suspecting AI cheating, Ivy League prof ordered in-person final; scores fell 50%

After a campus tragedy, I allowed take-home exams for my difficult economics class at Brown University, expecting high standards. Instead, enrollment surged and midterm scores hit record highs, with many answers resembling ChatGPT output. Suspecting widespread AI cheating, I mandated an in-person final exam. The result was a dramatic 50% drop in scores, proving that students had relied on artificial intelligence rather than learning the material.
