Look at any HN discussion which touches on education. Observe the dozens who come out of the woodwork to comment on how useless e.g. literature classes are, and how students would be so much better served by Lerning 2 Code. These people would use AI to write English papers in an instant, because they consider the subject worthless anyway.

I assume that's part of why tech companies do Leetcode interview questions. Copilot is easy to catch because it pastes training data verbatim. But we need to prepare for the future where students can say "hey GPT-5, make a CRUD app in Go in the style of Alan Kay. Here are the unit tests".
