Peter Biro alerts me to this artificial intelligence experiment that caused a backlash when it was conducted in Hungary.
Here's the story from Telex.hu, via Google Translate:

"This semester, the teachers of the subject of operations research have started a special experiment at the Corvinus University of Budapest, where one half of the students can use artificial intelligence (such as ChatGPT) in exams, while the other half cannot. More than ten students contacted our newspaper because they consider the system unfair, but according to the lecturers of the subject, the experiment was preceded by very careful professional consultation.

"In order not to be disadvantaged by either group, the instructors introduced point compensation, which brings the average of the two groups to the same level, i.e. the worse performers receive the difference calculated from the average of the other group. To illustrate with an example: Marcsi belongs to experimental group B. The participants of group A scored an average of 67 points during the year, and the participants of group B scored an average of 62 points. Marcsi scored 46 points on the exam. This score is compensated by the 5 points resulting from the group differences, so she scored a total of 51 points on the exam.

"According to several students, the main problem is that there are students who can complete the subject with zero work invested with the help of AI. While others prepare for several days, even a week, and achieve a similar result, but they have actually acquired the knowledge."
