the solution is obvious. stop grading the result, and start grading the process.

if you can one-shot an answer to some problem, the problem is not interesting.

the result is necessary, but not sufficient. how did you get there? how did you iterate? what were the twists and turns? what was the pacing? what was the vibe?

no matter if with encyclopedia, google, or ai, the medium is the message. the medium is you interacting with the tools at your disposal.

record that as a video with obs, and submit it along with the result.

for high stakes environments, add facecam and other information sources.

reviewers are scrubbing through video in an editor. evaluating the journey, not the destination.

Unfortunately, the video is a far cry from carrying all the representative information: there is no way you can capture your full emotions as you are working through a problem, and where did you get your "eureka" moments unless you are particularly good at verbalising your through process as you go through multiple dead-ends and recognize how they lead you in the right direction.

And reviewing video would be a nightmare.

there are only two options: - have more information - have less information

more is better.

you can scrub video with your finger on an iphone. serious review is always high effort, video changes nothing.

Let's be real... Multi-modal LLMs are scrubbing through the journey :P

just as there are low value students, there are low value reviewers. same as it ever was.

not every review is important.
