Screenshot of flashfic. text reads: Khai’s rust-red ute rattles past a sign melted in last summer’s blaze: “Dubbo 311 km.” The riverbeds are chalk. Smoke from an inland burn mixes with dust. The sky tastes like ground pepper. The university sent coordinates for an invigilated exam centre. No online option since SynthID breaches spiked and the online proctoring system fell to pieces. “Presence ensures integrity.” Integrity, Khai thinks, doesn’t pay for diesel or filters for his inhaler. Two days later, eyes gritty, he reaches the prefab hall. An invigilator scans his irises as Khai grips the silver ball that confirms his humanity in a 256-bit encrypted hash. The proctor checks his bag and pats him down for AI wearables, gestures toward a plastic booth. Ten other students sit hunched, each with a bottle of rationed water and a silent dread that the algorithmic detector will still cast its doubt. Khai writes fast. Outside, wind thumps the wall with ash. He finishes early, signs the honour declaration, and begins the long drive home, where the fires keep moving and the degree he’s chasing may arrive too late to matter. hashtag#artificialintelligence hashtag#aieducation hashtag#flashfic
