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

What makes you think they actually care whether the students learn anything or not? It's all about the money at this point. Students pay, they receive a diploma. The End.

That just isn't the case at all, the schools care a lot because it devalues the degrees they put their name on. The professors care a lot as well. Schools just haven't fully adapted to the change yet, but within a few years we'll see many more changes come into play that are really going to hit the people that have already spent the past few years relying on AI.
