I'm not GP but I've been an external examiner for Danish CS students for longer than a decade. When I look at my previous gradings have matched the expected distribution nationally. There was a diviation during covid, but not compared to the national distribution which was lower all over the board. For the past year things have been very different. The trend is now that you see the same amount of good students, but you see almost no middle students. You have students who hand in great projects and a well written thesis. Who can't tell you very simple things about the work they've turned in. There is no real way to prove that these students cheat, but the study programme regulations are pretty clear when students can't answer questions about what they've written.

When I look at this january's results it's all near top mark or near bottom or failed. Almost nothing in between, and my grades match what has been reported by other examiners so far.

Separate political pressures have already forced some departments to turn a blind eye to stuff like this. Even before LLMs.
