The Isparta Provincial Police KOM Branch team is monitoring a student for his suspicious behavior during the TYT exam held in Isparta on Saturday. They will closely monitor the student’s suspicious movements during the exam. The surveillance revealed that the student went to a third-year student at another university in Isparta to retake the exam and was caught red-handed cheating using a cheating device.

The student’s name is MEE. And interestingly, there is a mechanism coming out of the student. There is a button camera. This button allows the camera to read the exam paper. The system is reading. He sends it to an artificial intelligence system through the Internet system that he puts under his shoe. The artificial intelligence reads out the question and says the correct answer in the student’s ear.
Professor of Informatics Dr. Ali Murat Kırık said, “From this mechanism we can see how important the measures taken by ÖSYM are. This system, as you can see, is a perfectly organized and systematized structure. Why is a button camera used? Because it is used to read. Why is the transmitter at the bottom used?” Because it sends questions to a computer, remote access is also provided. How is remote access to an artificial intelligence chatbot provided? he said.
Kunuk continued:
Previously, you could just enter your question as text, but in all its versions, called ChapGPT 4, you can now solve the problem by transferring an image.
You don’t need to do anything extra, just take a photo and send it. Just what you do. Answer this. We tested and approved it before publishing.
