Frankly if universities want to actually stop this they have to treat it like the academic dishonesty it is and start expelling people.

But then they lose the tuition money.

In the long run, probably not. I'd rather send my kid to a school that I know will actually try to teach them shit and won't let them just hang out for four years while they copy-paste from an LLM.

These schools need to be showing the parents of future students that they care even one fucking iota about academic integrity.
