While some professors have embraced it as a tool, others are finding ways to fight its use. Concerned professors told Insider they plan to go back to handwritten assignments and oral exams to avoid the use of generative AI. "I'm planning on going medieval on the students and going all the way back to oral exams," Christopher Bartel, a philosophy professor at Appalachian State University, told Insider in January. "If it's school kids, that's a real yellow-red flag on the size of the prize," internet analyst Mark Shmulik told Insider. "This idea that if the ChatGPT drop-off is due to students on summer break, that implies a narrower audience and fewer use cases."
