Professor: "I don't know how I catch students using AI to cheat, I'm not a cop" Professor: It's the students' choice if they want to learn in class or not.

Professor: Students who use AI are using it for a few reasons: " One is, I think they're just overwhelmed".

After AI cheating startup Cluely went viral, other startups started racing to create a tool that could catch it.

But because the use of generative AI in school is so new, it's also hard to know what counts as "cheating" There are often no standardized policies or training for professors.

Students use AI to write essays, test online and make flashcards faster than you can make dinner.

For students facing academic and financial pressure, AI can seem more like a productivity tool than cheating.

For some college professors, a greater focus on pedagogy is the way to move forward.

"The whole purpose" of going to school "is to learn," professor says.
