As a teacher, I try to keep an open mind, but consistently I can find out in 5 minutes of talking to a student if they understand the material. I might just go all in for the oral exams.

Oral exams don't scale well if there are +100 students and a lot of assignments. The main pain point.
A teacher in an environment with +100 students and a lot of assignments that are graded by a random grad student is useless anyway and might as well not exist. If AI could move us away from this cargo cult, that's great.
Do fewer graded assignments then
Then learning targets only those assignments because students are the best optimizers.
It’s hard to go from (I privately think you’re cheating) to (I accuse you to your face), though.
