master students at my uni can submit an early thesis in may. today we received the submissions, and in comparison with two years ago, we have double more submissions. Usually most students submit in july. it makes me wonder if the allowed use of chatgpt&co has anything to do with it 👀

Actually the increase in LLM errors is NOT surprising. There is absolutely no connection between mathematical sophistication and a grip on TRUTH. AI is just prediction of low-level parameters.
