What if the credentials in question are a high school certificate? ChatGPT has certainly made life more difficult for high school and middle school teachers.
In which ways it it more difficult? Presumably a high school certificate encompasses more than just writing long form essays? You presumably have to show an understanding in worked examples in maths, physics, chemistry, biology etc?
I feel like the invention of calculators probably came with the same worries about how kids would ever learn to count.
