Punishing honest students by ensuring that they will fail unless they cheat is an absurd solution. In school I went to great lengths to do my work well and on my own. It was disheartening to see other students openly cheat and do well, but at least I knew that I was performing well on my own merits.

Under your system, I would have been actively punished for not cheating. What's the point of developing a cure that's worse than the disease?

It isn't a punishment if the AI is doing the work. The goal is to make students utilize the skills they will need now that AI can supplement their abilities.

But are AIs now _required_? If you're tailoring the class to allow growth potential for students using AI, what happens to the students who cannot use it (for whatever reason)?

It's a bit similar to making a class harder because some students are getting extra help via private tutoring.
