Artificial intelligence has become the main ally of millions of people from different corners of the planet. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks about taking advantage of these tools in an altruistic way, which is why several experts already point out that there are sectors in which 50% of workers will disappear. And, as expected, the influence of such a massive AI as ChatGPT is already starting to affect the academic sector.
A few weeks ago, we learned that the OpenAI bot was not only capable of passing exams to obtain a medical license, but was also behind numerous cheating incidents taking place in universities. And shortly after learning this news, a YouTuber named ChromaLock wanted to test how far ChatGPT could go in terms of cheating in the school environment. Therefore, he decided to modify a TI-84 calculator for his experiment and, in doing so, discovered how easy it was to take the fast track in exams.
The software is available online
As indicated by the portal Ars Technica in a recent publication, the project uses a device called TI-32 that incorporates a WiFi microcontroller that allows a permanent connection with ChatGPT. Although it is not a commercial project, the blueprints and software are available online, which is why it is possible to carry out the modification for free. And with it, you can integrate ChatGPT into the calculator without making external modifications, a maneuver that allows you to send questions to the bot to get real-time answers.
Along with ChatGPT, the device also has an image browser and several cheat sheets disguised as source code. In addition, the device is able to bypass common measures against fraud, as it allows erasing the calculator’s memory or avoiding a test mode that determines if it is modified or not. Therefore, students who have access to this device will now have the opportunity to consult ChatGPT during an exam, a situation that poses an ethical problem by allowing to pass a test without having the necessary knowledge.
