Exam booklet sales grew by 80% due to fight against AI
The world of education is making an unexpected turn to the past! American university professors are returning to traditional written exams using paper booklets. The reason? Fighting against widespread use of artificial intelligence by students. According to a Study.com research, 89% of students admitted they use ChatGPT for homework. 53% – for writing essays, and about 50% – even for tests they take remotely.
The solution to the problem for many professors became returning to so-called “blue books” – exam booklets with blue covers that have been used in the USA since the early 20th century.
On such exams students write detailed answers by hand, often filling an entire booklet. Roaring Spring company, which produces millions of such booklets annually, reported sales growth. So unexpectedly a simple booklet manufacturer benefited from artificial intelligence. And university stores confirm this trend: exam booklet sales grew at University of California by 80% this year, in Florida – by 50%, and at University of Texas – by 30%.
It turns out that returning to handwritten exams is not technological regression. But a peculiar immune response of the educational system to too rapid implementation of artificial intelligence.
