On the other hand, I think it could also trigger an arms race, and might very well incentivize learning how to write a good prompt more than learning the concept well enough to succeed in a class. This reminds me in my era of the divide in success in my era, between students who were able to navigate the internet to the benefit of their academic success, and those that weren't able to do things like quickly paraphrase a wikipedia article on the subject and use the wikipedia citations as their own, find a relevant flashcard set someone else made and shared on quizlet, or even find pdfs of the teacher's solutions accompanying the textbook. Cheat codes are cheat codes. They will help in terms of your grade but usually hurt in terms of understanding.
