I think one of the biggest risk for student is that homework and exercise usually have nothing new and chatgpt can probably answer any of those exercise just using the direct statement. So why as a student do those homework! But as you stated, if not done they will get stuck on harder problems that won't be given out by an ai.

I agree with this entirely. As a teacher, I sometimes see students try to put off doing homework and "catch up" later, only to find they were too far behind. I've also seen a handful of academic integrity cases I can't discuss, but they did suffer from this difficulty curve from cheating on simple stuff that was intended to build you up to be able to handle the big stuff.

Ultimately, learners need to not cheat on the 5 pound weights to be able to handle the 25 and 50 lb weights later on.
