Mostly thinking out loud here.

Education is already fundamentally busted on like 50 levels. Increased anti-cheating tech is so far from the original point of learning that it's not about learning anymore. Grading itself is already a necessary evil at best. And cheating being bad is a conclusion from that.

Okay, education, ideally, is for learning. In practice it has a double purpose of also being for certification. Which is to say, the examination and projects you're supposed to not cheat on are the point. This isn't really a good thing, but it may be a necessary one. Still, a lot of prestigious and/or exclusionary institutions are overwhelmingly about certification and not learning which clearly isn't.

More certification and stricter certification do not ensure more learning. In fact, they're often the opposite. In my own experience as a college student, I've had plenty of classes I cheated with super hard and ones I did honestly, and I've seen no correlation between classes I cheat on and classes where I don't learn much. I've had classes I did honestly, were challenging, got a great grade, and learned shit-all. I've also had classes I cheated on every single thing and learned a lot doing it.

In my experience, too, ChatGPT has been like a total godsend for learning. I ask questions to the professor, which needs to be done during the limited window of office hours, and they tell me to 'look over my notes and figure it out' cause they always do and they never help. I ask ChatGPT and they explain exactly what I want forever and I can ask about anything and I can do it at 2AM.
