What is that core issue, in your opinion?

I can elaborate on that. In education no one cares about what you've learned, just what your grade is, based on your grades you get a job. Better grades, better job, better pay. We have long before AI decoupled learning from education.

In my opinion, the kids are only playing the game the way it's meant to be played. Do whatever it takes to get the highest grade, learning is for suckers / things you actually care about.

Yep, pretty much, I didn't feel like putting it into words, so thanks for this. I'd add that arguably, when students "play the game", they get the same flack, or worse, than job applicants who exaggerate or straight up lie in their resume the same way companies lie about free unlimited PTOs, job security, a clear career ladder, etc.

Using morality or honesty as an argument against students who cheat is an attack on students, a distraction from the fact that this shit doesn't work the way it was advertised actually, which has been internalized and normalized in many societies, left uncontested, which is big bad.
