A similar outlook scandal happened in Norway. I believe both UiO and NTNU, biggest in Humanities and engineering respectively, used to have great internal email services. Huge protests from competent personnel ignored. Now its all outlook. Microsoft are excessively good at convincing non technical stakeholders that their own staff are idiots, and that Microsoft is the solution.

I have corrected exams and graded assignments as an external party before (legal requirement). The biggest problem with LLMs I see is that the weak students copy-paste commands with unnecessary command line switches. But they would have done the same with stack overflow.

Some also say they use LLM to help improve their writing but that's where the learning is so why????? I think it's the anxiety for failing, they don't seem to understand I'll not fail them as long as their incoherent text proves they understood what they were doing.

Having graduated and knowing how things are ought to look, taking exams are so much less scary now because I'm confident I will be failed for being incompetent, not because I didn't write properly. Not all students have the same privilege, they gain it over time.

It does help that computer science assignments and papers are pretty damn standard in form.
