For years, there have been cheats in higher education. I was offered very good money to do more than just edit assignments for other students, but fortunately didn't have the time available, lol. It was very tempting money.
Our community looks at education as a product to be bought and sold. So long as that state exists we will undervalue the process, and undermine it with poor teaching, poor curricula, poor qualifications, and poor achievement. One of the things AI may bring is a reassessment of the way we view education. A reassessment of what is actually needed in 'schooling', how far we need to pursue information acquisition instead of knowledge generation, and what purposes we can assign to the process of education.
And I think that would be a good thing. Because the state of education today sure needs a huge shake up to match the changes technologies have brought to us all.
