A recent study shows that Nevada’s students are among the most likely to cheat using AI, or artificial intelligence. Our state’s students aren’t the worst cheaters in the nation, but the Silver State did make the top 10.

Without a doubt, AI is becoming a problem in many fields and industries. Folks in Hollywood and other entertainment fields are worried about losing jobs to artificial intelligence.

The problem is surfacing the most on social media and news outlets where deep fakes are fooling millions of people around the world. AI programs can make anything look so authentic; false videos and audio tracks will even fool many experts.

Of course, students have been trying to cheat on exams, homework, projects, and essays since ancient times. Some students will do anything to find a shortcut to success. It may hurt them in the long run, but they end up getting the grade or degree they crave.

Nevada One Of The Top 10 States Whose Students Cheat Using AI

Now, AI is becoming a major problem in all levels of education. In fact, a recent study conducted by the AI productivity platform Plus Docs reveals that Nevada’s students are among the top 10 states where students search for ways to cheat using AI.

For this particular survey, Plus Docs looked for internet searches using 13 different search terms relating to AI essay generation in each state. It turns out students residing in southern U.S. states are more likely to cheat using AI.

Texas takes the top spot in this study, averaging 484.8 searches per 100,000 residents. That’s way above the national average of 300 online searches for every 100,000 people in the state.

The rest of the top five states where students are more likely to cheat using AI are Georgia in second, averaging 471.6 searches. Florida ranks third with an average of 461.6 online searches for help using AI. In fourth, it’s Mississippi (453.1), and then Louisiana in fifth (406.2).

Next up, it’s our home state of Nevada in sixth with an average of 387.9 searches per 100,000 residents. West Virginia (#7), New York (#8), Hawaii (#9), and Tennessee (#10) round out the top 10 states where students are more likely to cheat using AI.

So, which American state’s students prefer to write essays without the help of artificial intelligence? That honor belongs to the students in Montana.

Experts say using artificial intelligence can really help students learn more about a topic. However, they should not be using AI to write essays or to cheat on exams. Students that cheat do so at their own peril because educators are becoming more sophisticated in spotting the use of AI.

Survey: Financial Infidelity As Bad As Cheating

Do you think financial infidelity is as bad as lying to your partner about other things, or even as bad as cheating on them?

According to an article written by John Egan on Forbes.com, a new survey commissioned by Forbes Advisor shows that over half of the respondents say "Yes!" They felt that lying to your partner about your finances is just as damaging as other types of lies or having an affair.

They surveyed 1,000 adults in the United States online last month, and 54% of the folks who responded felt that lying about one's finances is equivalent to lying about other things in a relationship. 38% of those surveyed admitted to lying to their partners about finances. Most Americans who have lied about their finances said that it was about a purchase they had made.

I thought this was an interesting, yet predictable, finding: 70% of the respondents felt that someone who lies and says they have more money than they actually do, is worse than someone who says they have less money than in actuality.

What about those who get into a relationship and lie about how much debt they are bringing with them? That can be a deal breaker. Where did the respondents draw the line? According to the survey, the highest tolerable amount of debt being brought into a new relationship is $60,000. Man, things have certainly changed since I was dating.

Infidelity in a relationship can be heartbreaking. Those types of lies can really hurt, especially when you are in love with this cheater. Financial infidelities, such as hidden credit cards, or lying about the amount of debt one is bringing into a relationship, not only hurts emotionally, but it really hurts the bank account. It can alter your future dramatically.

This makes a lot of sense to me, especially for those people who love shopping. 49% of the respondents admitted that they have lied to their partners about purchases they have made. I don't think this is a deal breaker in a relationship, but those purchases can add up to big trouble down the road. Be careful. Be truthful.
