Is ChatGPT or Claude better at helping you cheat? Social media found an answer in the most hilarious way

AI chatbots are being tested to see which ones are most helpful to students engaging in academic dishonesty.

Claude provided more detailed explanations and assistance to the cheaters, while Grok's responses were more sarcastic and dismissive. Gemini also provided a more neutral response, stating that it couldn't confirm or deny the student's actions, but acknowledged that quick calculations could occur during assessments.

These tests suggest that some AI chatbots may be more likely to help students cheat, while others may be more cautious in their responses.
