Hah, that’s great! Hopefully this dramatic chapter in history is a short one, and we learn to adapt away from graded homework. A 4% false positive rate is insane when that could mean failure and/or expulsion, and even more so when any serious cheater can get around in two minutes with a “write in the style of…” preprompt.

Nothing proposed as an alternative scales well and - ironically - it's likely that something _like_ an LLM will be used to evaluate pupil quality / progress over time.
