A recent study shows that Nevada’s students are among the most likely to cheat using AI, or artificial intelligence. Our state’s students aren’t the worst cheaters in the nation, but the Silver State did make the top 10.

Without a doubt, AI is becoming a problem in many fields and industries. Folks in Hollywood and other entertainment fields are worried about losing jobs to artificial intelligence.

The problem is surfacing the most on social media and news outlets where deep fakes are fooling millions of people around the world. AI programs can make anything look so authentic; false videos and audio tracks will even fool many experts.

Of course, students have been trying to cheat on exams, homework, projects, and essays since ancient times. Some students will do anything to find a shortcut to success. It may hurt them in the long run, but they end up getting the grade or degree they crave.

Nevada One Of The Top 10 States Whose Students Cheat Using AI

Now, AI is becoming a major problem in all levels of education. In fact, a recent study conducted by the AI productivity platform Plus Docs reveals that Nevada’s students are among the top 10 states where students search for ways to cheat using AI.

For this particular survey, Plus Docs looked for internet searches using 13 different search terms relating to AI essay generation in each state. It turns out students residing in southern U.S. states are more likely to cheat using AI.

Texas takes the top spot in this study, averaging 484.8 searches per 100,000 residents. That’s way above the national average of 300 online searches for every 100,000 people in the state.

The rest of the top five states where students are more likely to cheat using AI are Georgia in second, averaging 471.6 searches. Florida ranks third with an average of 461.6 online searches for help using AI. In fourth, it’s Mississippi (453.1), and then Louisiana in fifth (406.2).

Next up, it’s our home state of Nevada in sixth with an average of 387.9 searches per 100,000 residents. West Virginia (#7), New York (#8), Hawaii (#9), and Tennessee (#10) round out the top 10 states where students are more likely to cheat using AI.

So, which American state’s students prefer to write essays without the help of artificial intelligence? That honor belongs to the students in Montana.

Experts say using artificial intelligence can really help students learn more about a topic. However, they should not be using AI to write essays or to cheat on exams. Students that cheat do so at their own peril because educators are becoming more sophisticated in spotting the use of AI.

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board is issuing a public health and safety bulletin over mislabeled cannabis products.

According to the board, the following cannabis packages passed laboratory testing. However, they were mislabeled at a 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD when it was actually a 2:1 ratio of THC to CBD.

The THC was labeled correctly but the label shows 10mg of CBD when it was tested at only 5mg CBD per serving.

The board says this affected the following products/lot numbers:

Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.

Valentino Montegrande of Henderson, Nevada, has announced his commitment to further his education and swimming career at Rollins College. Montegrande is a recent graduate of Bishop Gorman High School, and will arrive in Winter Park this upcoming fall for the 2024-2025 season.

“I am incredibly grateful to announce my commitment to pursue my athletic and academic future at Rollins College! This opportunity wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of my parents and Prada and Chanel. I also would like to thank Coach Michael and Coach Bob for always pushing me past my limits. As well as, Coach Walker for making all of this a reality. Above all, I thank God for blessing me with talent, perseverance, and opportunities that have led me to this chapter in my life! Go Tars!!”

Montegrande, a butterfly specialist, trains and competes year-round with the Sandpipers of Nevada under coach Michael Kinross. He’s a Futures qualifier in both the 100 and 200 fly, and currently owns best times of 50.20 and 1:51.40 which he set at Speedo Sectionals this past December.

Last summer Montegrande capped off his long course season at the Western Zone Senior Championships, where he advanced to finals in both fly events. In the 100m, he notched a personal best time of 58.43 en route to a 20th place finish, while in the 200m he stopped the clock at 2:11.87 for 21st overall. He also earned a second swim in the 100m back, where he clocked a personal best of 1:01.98 to take 41st.

More recently, Montegrande represented his high school at the Nevada High School State Championship (5A). He took home the state title in the 100 fly, where he logged a 50.36 to clear the field by nearly two seconds. He was also 4th in the 100 back (52.47) and delivered lead-off splits of 24.17 and 21.92 in the 200 medley & 200 freestyle relays, respectively.

Top SCY Times

• 100 back – 51.92
• 50 free – 21.85
• 100 fly – 50.20
• 200 fly – 1:51.40

Rollins College, currently led by head coach Walker Thaning, is a Division II program in the Sunshine State Conference. Thaning is new to the position, as he recently took over after former head coach Julianne Lehner stepped away mid-season. This season, the men’s team took 4th at the 2024 Sunshine State Conference Championship with a total of 428 points.

Montegrande’s current best time in the 200 fly would have earned him a spot in the B-final at this year’s meet, putting him in position to be an immediate scorer. Rollins’ Luke Dinges took home the title in the 200 fly, as he clocked a 1:44.92 to win the event by over a second. 

Montegrande joins Sam Pugh and Corbin Songer in Rollins’ incoming class next fall.
