Uh huh, that'll work. Grades are both feedback to the student and an artificial reason to actually do the work, and it was done that way because there is a short supply of people who are completely self-motivated and need neither carrot nor stick. In engineering you learn that mistakes become much more expensive the later they're found in the development process. Allowing students to cheat with AI, assuming they'll fall flat on their faces when they will be entering the work force, is one way to let a mistake fester and become prohibitively expensive. Turning a blind eye to cheating is a dereliction of responsibility.

Letsencrypt is one of the members.
