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

The real answer is to treat it like the tool it is

Just like in math class, if you expect people to be analog, you’re gonna give different questions than if they have access to Matlab.

Don’t give students analog questions anymore. The industries they graduate to will require AI fluency and task employees as if they have AI as a tool.
