AI is Cheating So Bad… We’re Bringing Back Blue Books

AI has officially infiltrated the classroom (I guess it’s been at this point), and not in the way educators hoped.

While generative AI tools like ChatGPT were once seen as potential learning aids, they’ve quickly become the go-to shortcut for students looking to bypass the hard work of writing, researching, and even apologizing…

What’s happening?

• Nearly 90% of college students had used ChatGPT for assignments just two months after its launch. Talk about extra credit.

• Among teens aged 13–17, AI usage for schoolwork has doubled since 2023. Now, 1 in 4 rely on it directly.

• Professors are now playing double duty as teachers and AI lie detectors. One professor even caught a student submitting an AI-written paper—and an AI-written apology email. Meta-cheating?

• And in a plot twist worthy of a ‘90s reboot, blue books are back. Yep, those tiny ruled exam booklets from your undergrad nightmares are selling out fast. Sales are up 80% at UC Berkeley alone. Apparently, nothing stops a prompt-injected essay like 15 minutes of pure handwriting panic.

So What?

AI is making us rethink how we define learning itself. While blue books and oral exams are having a nostalgic comeback, it’s clear we need more than Scantrons and suspicion.

Educators must lean into AI literacy, rethink assessment design, and build guardrails that turn generative tools into genuine learning aids. Because if we’re relying on spiral-bound nostalgia to defend academic integrity… we might need a backup plan.

Does this mean the paradigm of education needs to change with information literally a few prompts away?

Using the New GitHub Connector in ChatGPT

Tired of grepping through your codebase like it’s 2013? OpenAI recently rolled out a GitHub connector for its Deep Research agent in ChatGPT, and it’s a game-changer for devs.

Think of it like hiring a senior engineer who never sleeps. ChatGPT can now browse your GitHub repos, answer questions about your code, and even break down entire projects in real time.

Whether you’re onboarding, debugging, or just trying to remember what you wrote three months ago, this feature has your back.

Here’s how to activate it:

1. Head into ChatGPT and select Deep Research → GitHub → Connect.

2. Authorize the GitHub connector and choose the repos you want ChatGPT to access.

3. Start asking questions about your codebase, ChatGPT will pull context from your files and respond accordingly!

🔥 Pro Tip: Try this prompt: “Can you explain the main purpose of this repo and how the API layer works?” Perfect for onboarding or understanding legacy projects fast.
