Nothing until they start failing exams and maybe seeing the error of their ways. My suggestions wasn't for you, it was for the smart student who wants to use AI to enhance their learning but not have it do all the work.
But cheating isn't new. People have been cheating in school for centuries. It's easier now, but the consequences were always the same. At some point the chickens come home to roost and you pay the piper.

At some point the chickens come home to roost and you pay the piper. My concern is that with LLMs and above average bullshitting abilities, the chickens might never come home to roost.
- robryan 2mo agoI think that is fine, certain things are becoming less important to learn and certain things more important. With the pace of change it is likely to continue shifting.
- dag100 2mo agoI really don't see how anything but social skills are rising in prominence. Perhaps twenty years from now everything will depend on your connections as any "hard" problems will be readily solved by AI (seeing as few problems are ever really novel).
