This is really unfortunate, and I think your instructor should read it. It sounds like your instructor has confused homework with quizzes, and the cheating issue demands some rethinking of the course pace and assessment system. In physics and related fields, I have found fully worked problems to be very valuable. If your textbook includes some of these, I recommend reviewing them and working similar practice problems if possible. I wonder if things like supplementary texts, khan academy, or tutorials on youtube might help as well. As you note, systems like ChatGPT could be helpful for explaining or working through problems, but obviously you won't learn anything if you rely on them for doing your own problem sets.
