Secret calculator hack brings ChatGPT to the TI-84, enabling easy cheating


Tiny device installed inside TI-84 enables Wi-Fi Internet, access to AI chatbot.

On Saturday, a YouTube creator called "ChromaLock" published a video detailing how he modified a Texas Instruments TI-84 graphing calculator to connect to the Internet and access OpenAI's ChatGPT, potentially enabling students to cheat on tests. The video, titled "I Made The Ultimate Cheating Device," demonstrates a custom hardware modification that allows users of the graphing calculator to type in problems sent to ChatGPT using the keypad and receive live responses on the screen. While the video presents the project as a technical achievement, consulting ChatGPT during a test on your calculator almost certainly represents an ethical breach and/or a form of academic dishonesty that could get you in serious trouble at most schools.
