Sure - in the past. When students turned in programming lab assignments to me 20 years ago that I knew wasn’t theirs, I could cross check it with other students in the class or find it on Google. I would check and they would get an F. With tools available today, it is much easier to get generated code and harder to tell which parts are AI and which are not. I would have a hard time giving someone an F on an assignment just because I wasn’t sure how they wrote their program.
