> I guess I have a fairly cynical take on this. I think this just exposes that AI is fundamentally going to undermine the value of education in certain fields. The fact some tests can be "cheated" by AI really just suggests that some skills have little to no value in our future AI-prevalent world.
If you think about it, most of the stuff you learn at school (beyond reading and writing) has not much value apart from certifying that you are not stupid and compliant to do stupid tasks.
The value of knowledge in school is to have a "liberal arts" baseline, for future selection and pursuit of an area of interest, and a basis for comparison for the river of bullshit you spend the rest of your life wading upstream through, so you don't get fooled by age old scams and lies about how this time is different.
Really what we need to do is take a good hard look at how education system works and whether or not it is aligned with our goals. Sadly, that's a pretty massive undertaking and no one can be arsed to support doing difficult things on a societal level any more.
