"Recognize that grade-chasing drives all academic cheating Tyson uses the AI homework-writing boom to surface a structural problem: "It is revealing to us that the school system values grades more than students value learning — and as long as that is true, everyone at all times will cheat on all exams." He argues that if learning itself were the measure, students would use AI to explore further rather than to substitute for effort. Any teacher, manager, or parent setting up evaluation systems should therefore measure demonstrated understanding — through oral exams, real projects, or live problem-solving — rather than deliverables that can be outsourced.
