I think it's also a bit obtuse, depending on the situation, to say they're "cheating". Using it in class during a test is clearly cheating. Doing it for homework is just using resources you have at hand. This kind of statement has been made over and over throughout the years.
Using a calculator is cheating. Using a graphing calculator is cheating. Using a previous years assignments is cheating. Using cliff notes is cheating. Using the Internet is cheating. Using stack overflow is cheating.
I'll admit there is a point of diminishing returns, where you basically fail to learn anything, and we're pretty much there with AI, but we need to find new challenges to fit our new tools. You rarely solve 21st century problems with 19th century tools and methods.
