    Very easy to tell if someone knows what they wrote about in a two minute conversation. My wife grades/t.a’s at a university, it’s obvious when someone doesn’t know the information in person (and she’s very understanding towards people who cannot verbalize the information but still know it). The old professors aren’t very keen to it, but the graders can very easily smell the bullshit.

    And if you know the information well enough, but send it through gpt for editing/refinement, that’s usually accepted, unless you’re in a class that grades on composition.

      Even back around 2006, my biology teacher did exams on paper only, with questions that are free response only. Even AI and cheating aside, people get way too lucky with multiple choice exams
