Image used as visual prompt in standard and advanced English paper 1 sparks accusations of hypocrisy
An image students believe was AI generated that appeared in the HSC standard and advanced English paper 1 on Tuesday.An image students believe was AI generated that appeared in the HSC standard and advanced English paper 1 on Tuesday.have queried whether a “photograph” used as a stimulus in an HSC English exam was in fact AI-generated, sparking accusations of hypocrisy given the strict rules around students themselves using AI.
They said whether students thought the image was AI-generated or not would have no bearing on their results and marks would be awarded for “how they responded to the question, using the image as stimulus”.“I just finished the exam … and the fact that this was AI distracted me all the way through,” one wrote.
Online, Schroeder – who shares his name with a famous German television personality – describes himself as “passionate about AI”, having “integrated it firmly into his daily work”. He is the co-founder for data and AI magazine AI Rockstars. Schroeder only has one display picture – which appears to be an AI-generated image of the actor.
“If this pushes us to think about how we can prepare students to have a set of critical skills that are useful to engage with AI tools and texts, then it’s a good outcome,” he said. Miller said the image had the “hallmarks” of AI, which could be the intention of the artist or the result of using an AI-generative program.
On a community page for Australian teachers, one user encouraged readers to file a formal complaint to Nesa for the probable use of AI.
