Ahh! st_intersection solved the problem!

From what I can tell it looks like maybe an issue with the geometry being multipolygon instead of polygon. Seems like st_cast() should break those out into separate polygons, but I can't get it to work.

The additional tell was the “spatial contagion” element. All of these answers were wrong in roughly similar ways. So yeah, maybe you think you can get away with it in a vacuum, but if everyone else is relying on the same cheat machine to cheat that’s a huge tell! But they can’t reason through this.

I had ≈50% of my students use AI for a short answer question on an exam this semester. Similar to what the author describes, the responses it generated should have been obviously wrong. That they didn’t immediately recognize that it sounded nothing like what we covered in the course is a problem.

It’s also incredibly disappointing and frustrating to see university presidents at some of the most selective elite institutions making sweeping pronouncements about the entire industry seemingly based on nothing more than regurgitated vibe checks from the New York Times op-ed pages.
