Chungin “Roy” Lee stepped onto Columbia University’s campus this past fall and, by his own admission, proceeded to use AI to cheat on nearly every assignment. As a computer science major, he depended on AI for his introductory programming classes. By his rough math, AI wrote 80 percent of every essay he turned in. “At the end, I’d put on the finishing touches. I’d just insert 20 percent of my humanity, my voice, into it,” Lee told me recently.
Lee was called into Columbia’s academic-integrity office. The school put him on disciplinary probation after a committee found him guilty of creating and “advertising a link to a cheating tool” called Interview Coder and “providing students with the knowledge to access this tool and use it how they see fit,” according to the committee’s report. Lee thought it absurd that Columbia, which had a partnership with ChatGPT’s parent company, OpenAI, would punish him for innovating with AI.
Lee said he doesn’t know a single student at the school who isn’t using AI to cheat. To be clear, Lee doesn’t think this is a bad thing. “I think we are years — or months, probably — away from a world where nobody thinks using AI for homework is considered cheating,” he said.
