The students cheating are only making the people with preAI degrees more desirable.
"What sets you apart from the others?"
There was still cheating but at least it was more effort than this.
Yeah back in my day, cheating meant getting a copy of last year's test and memorizing the answers. At least you still learned something!
That was never cheating.
