> The problem at the core is not spyware and "room checks", they are just a symptom - the question rather is how exams are designed and why schools and universities go to such drastic lengths to prevent cheating.
You got the premise wrong. The main way that students cheat in online test is by communicating with other students/tutors and by having other people take the tests for them.
Doesn't matter how perfect your exam is if the student has a friend coaching them during the exam and telling them all the answers.
And it is far more common than you think. I have been tutoring for a for 5 years and there was a massive amount of students who tried to hire me to do online exams for them during the 2 years of covid. I probably would have done it if I was still a student full of debt at that time.

Students typically don't cheat in online tests by looking at their notes. What they do is ask other students or have someone else do the exam for them.

In online tests, students cheat by asking the answers to other people online (eg. chatrooms with other students in the same class) or by having someone else do the test.
Teachers don't care about students looking into their books/pdf, what they want to prevent is them getting the answers from a snapchat group.

I think generating CP with AI would be 10000x easier than most of what I have personally made with with dall-e.
creating a llama wearing a space suit and walking on the moon is a lot harder than filling out the very limited amount of skin hidden by a swimming suit.

>(Ignoring the fact that a CP model has to be trained on real images).
that's not how this tech works.
Did you think actual guinea pigs had to be trained to do household chores for these pictures to be generated? (dailywrong.com/new-course-teaches-guinea-pigs-household-chores/)
I had a lot of fun creating pictures of llamas in space. I'm pretty sure no llamas have ever walked on the moon.

the same argument can be said about literally every non-crypto currency. A US dollar doesn't have any "value" other than the small amount of heat you get if you burn your paper bills.

Whatever is the cost of insurance for that type of service at Garmin and the dozens of competitors, I can assure you it did not come from the pocket of their CEO.
Even if you steal a phone and call for a rescue, whoever did the rescue will get paid regardless of your situation. The insurance company will sue your ass to the grounds, but that's a different discussion.
