AI uses a very dumbass obvious form of English. When you compare a student's emails to the language used explaining code, it becomes very clear to someone who does know code when the person is bullshitting. In-person would be even harder to evade. LOL. What's this function form? Um, it defines i. Yes, but what does it do? It loops i! And then what? Well, you get i +1... So lots of i's.

100%. It's pretty easy to spot students' AI use, but I kinda hate grading based on that subjective feel, so I avoid it as much as I can. Because of that, my implicit AI policy is very permissive.

Most of my students would get absolutely wrecked in any kind of in-person assessment
It should be done at least once in a class. They would have to do the same thing in a scrum meeting in the real workplace explaining what they did the day/night before to a senior dev or a project manager. I quiz my contractors all the time. Drives the contractor PM nuts, but he respects it.
Explain the code line by line in-person or using comments? Because wouldn't the AI also be able to add comments?
Similarly with restricted toolset. You can just prompt the AI to use the allowed tools.
