Will online degrees become worthless because of AI?

[ss20ts]

The problem isn't specific to online programs. Students can turn in AI-generated papers in on-ground programs. For a long time, on-campus students have been paying people to write papers for them. The only difference is on-campus testing, but online proctors exist to prevent cheating during remote testing.

So many students cheat when testing in person. I used to see so many students cheating at one university I attended in person years ago. When there's 300 students and 1 TA it's not hard. I have wondered if this is why some professors moved to open notes for exams. You still had time limits so you had to have great organized notes for it to help you.
