Students to whom learning is more important than test results won’t cheat either way. Students to whom test results are more important than learning will cheat if it’s easy and reluctantly fall back on actually learning the material if they have to. Educators who care whether their students learn will prefer the latter outcome.
(It is sometimes also true that educators care more about testing than teaching. But I don’t think that’s anything like the only reason why they will complain about things that make it very easy for students to cheat.)
Students also might reason (maybe correctly) that if AI is already better than most humans will ever be in their lifetime, why exactly are they spending all this time on stuff like hand symbolic manipulation and hand arithmetic anyways..
I think that’s unfair.
