@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io In Fall 2020 I was forced to use HonorLock, an "anti-cheat" suite which recorded videos of students taking tests in their dorm rooms and then used AI to determine whether or not they were cheating. I had to manually override it a lot because it automatically determined
a)All black people are cheating because it can't recognize their faces at all,
b)Anyone who has a roommate is cheating, because it's impossible to take a test in the same room as someone else,
c)Anyone with autism or ADHD is cheating because their eyes move in unexpected ways,
d)Anyone with photophobia or related eye conditions is cheating because their eyes move in unexpected ways,
e)Anyone using accessability software is cheating because there's software running on their computer
...and a whole bunch of "cheating" accusations that I couldn't discern any reason for.
