Shame! Nevada's Students More Likely To Cheat Using AI
Nevada’s students are among the most likely to cheat using AI to complete essays and schoolwork.
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.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom won’t admit it, but a move by President Donald Trump is especially helpful to drivers in California — and Nevada.
Gasoline prices are pressuring consumers around the country. On Friday, the average U.S. price was $4.55 a gallon. In California, that would be a bargain. The average there was $6.16 a gallon. Nevada’s average was $5.23 a gallon, the result of around 88 percent of the state’s gasoline coming from California.
It might be getting worse — regardless of what happens in Iran.
In recent months, two major California refineries have shut down. That represented a 17 percent reduction in California’s refining capacity. Their closures weren’t caused by the Iran war, but by Gov. Newsom and California’s relentless attacks on fossil fuels.
To make up for the fuel it won’t extract or refine in-state, California depends on imports from foreign countries.
“We are importing 30 percent of our crude oil from the Middle East,” Mike Ariza, a former control board supervisor at the Valero Benicia Refinery, said in an interview. He has been warning the public about California’s potential fuel shortage. “There are not very many ships left on the way that have fuel,” he said last month.
Last week, KCRA-TV in Sacramento reported that “about 2 million barrels of oil are in the process of being unloaded in Long Beach off of the last California-bound tanker that got through the Strait of Hormuz.”
At a California legislative hearing Tuesday, Siva Gunda, the vice chairman of the California Energy Commission, said the state has enough gasoline to accommodate demand for the next six weeks. That’s not a very long time, especially given that it takes weeks or months for oil to travel from the Middle East to California. And that process won’t begin until the Strait of Hormuz reopens.
There is a region, however, with abundant oil available for sale and safe passage — the southeastern United States. Unfortunately, the Jones Act, an antiquated 1920 law, mandates that only U.S.-flagged ships may move cargo between U.S. ports. But only 55 of the more than 7,000 oil tankers worldwide comply with this requirement.
This is where Mr. Trump rode to the rescue. Late last month, the White House announced Mr. Trump would suspend the Jones Act for another 90 days. In March, he originally waived it for 60 days. This will make it easier for California and Nevada to obtain domestic product.
If only Mr. Trump could also suspend the destructive energy policies imposed by Gov. Newsom and California Democrats.
