Dartmouth team launches Deb8.tv, using live video debates as AI-proof homework
paulnovosad · x · 2026-11-10
A Dartmouth team built Deb8.tv, which turns homework into live video debates between students as an AI-proof assignment: the platform pairs students by topic, records full transcripts, and optionally uses an AI judge.
Three modes: human vs human debates, practice against 16+ AI personas with distinct tones, and AI-vs-AI tournament style debates among frontier models. Teachers can create classes, assign debate topics with deadlines, keep debates off the public feed, and run class-only leaderboards with ELO ratings.
