should we really consider the usage of AI as "cheating"? the only reason I am asking this is because its here and its augmenting everything we do and its not going away - it is probably one of the most useful tools/inventions since the abacus and after that the calculator, in my opinion.

"its augmenting everything we do and its not going away". Yuck at this false claim.

In a learning environment, absolutely.

"Dozens of students in the class likely used artificial intelligence to cheat and earn perfect or near-perfect scores on their midterm, he said. Serrano in turn made the final exam in-person, which led more than a dozen students to drop the course and even more to fail it."

If there is a smart shortcut we will take it. It's how we became the humans we are today. Unfortunately doesn't help with deliberate learning.

Sadly most students have not been taught how to value learning. They just want a high mark with the least effort.
