Student Boty - smart strategy ;)
With remote classrooms it’s easier to enroll in a program with say stolen identity credentials. The use case? Qualify for financial aid.
Enroll in courses, fill up waitlists so even real students cannot take those courses.
I grew up in competitive class enrollment system that often required rapid refreshes only to find out the class schedule you meticulously planned is ruined because you didn’t get one popular class you needed.
Imagine that x1000 harder since now you compete with bots trying to get free financial aid.
The current best use case for AI is propagating fraud because fraud detection has always lagged behind. Colleges now need some enrollment validation task force to make sure enrollees are indeed real students.
Wild and disconcerting.
