The question that matters for education has never been authorship. It has always been genuine understanding.
AI hasn't just made cheating easier.
It has broken the signal professors rely on
to know if learning actually happened.
Every existing tool asks who wrote the answer. That is an arms race with no winner. The right question has always been whether anyone understood it.
Genuine understanding leaves a distinct trace — the causal connections between ideas, not just the presence of the right words. That trace cannot be faked at scale.
"I can no longer tell whether my students have actually learned the material."
