> It's best not to blame the students. They are good at optimizing metrics; that's how they ended up here in the first place.

As an alumnus of Dartmouth College's CS program, I am sad to hear that my alma mater has sunken so low. Look, I know that the Committee on Students was historically bad at handling CS plagiarism cases back in the 90s (compared to ones in the humanities). But Dartmouth's historic solution to this sort of pernicious "optimization" was to reduce the expected value of cheating by imposing extreme negative consequences on anyone they caught, with a 3-term suspension and a permanent transcript notification for a first offense.

Allowing widespread cheating and LLM regurgitation will destroy a school's reputation with graduate schools and employers, and rightfully so.
