AI Test Grading -vs- Gamers

[RicInOR]

I generally hate gamers. Not those of you who play games, but those who game the system. Am I using such a light load in Cowboy shooting that my lead bullets do not even deform? The rules don't say they have to ....


These students figured out their tests were graded by AI — and the easy way to cheat

You may find yourself with an AI test as
- Job Application
- Performance Review
- or even as I get, a required training at work -- dudes, I know lifting heavy weights are dangerous, I lift 1 lb at a time, Grande.

[The Heretic]

Often gaming the system results in the "gamer" cheating themselves. In education you don't learn what may benefit you and sometimes it backfires; when I was earning my EE degree, there were students who would memorize the textbook and test answers and not bother much with the theory. When the instructor created a test that turned the questions on their heads (often done by simply reversing the question/equation/etc.) then those students would get the answer wrong. If they knew the theory they would get the question right if they worked it thru. They also didn't learn the theory so they paid for taking tests and sitting thru class.

In my tech degree (ag and industrial mech) before I got my EE degree, there was a parallel class from another country that was taking a 6 month cert program to go back to their country and be employed as mechs/techs there. They had a final exam to complete the program, but they learned somehow that their certification paperwork had already been completed, so all but one refused to take the final exam. Turns out that the certifications had an error; their names were in the wrong order - in their country they had multiple names - more than three, and if they are in the wrong order (different than the USA) then the certs were invalid. They tried to game the system and lost.
