Education returns to "blue books" in its battles with A.I. armed students

Cheating with ChatGPT has become a huge problem for colleges. The solution is painfully old-school.

Excerpt: "When this year’s college graduates first arrived on campus, there was no such thing as ChatGPT.

They had to use their own brains for math homework, econ problem sets, coding projects, Spanish exercises, biology research, term papers on the Civil War and the Shakespeare essay that made them want to gouge their eyes out. 

Now they can just use artificial intelligence. 

Students outsourcing their assignments to AI and cheating their way through collegehas become so rampant, so quickly, that it has created a market for a product that helps professors ChatGPT-proof school. As it turns out, that product already exists.

In fact, you’ve probably used it. You might even dread it.

It’s called a blue book. 

The mere thought of that exam booklet with a blue cover and blank pages is enough to make generations of college kids clam up—and make their hands cramp up."
