Well, duh

A study from MIT has found that those using AI "authorship" like ChatGPT  showed less brain connectivity--i.e. "thinking"--when asked to write without using help from AI than those who actually learned to write on their own.

As a former college TA (math and engineering), and as a homeschool dad who grades his kids' math, may I say the obvious?

DUH

Let's be blunt here.  Those of us who were blessed with, shall we say, "the ability that made people want to cheat from our papers", were told, if we had a teacher who cared one iota, that if we "helped" our classmates this way, we would end up truncating their ability to do the work on their own.  

In the same way, when someone cheated his way through freshman courses in college, we observed as the  poor guy learned the hard way that those courses are called "prerequisites" for a reason, and that the same person made a great pizza deliveryman, so to speak.  Really, the notion that we can obtain results without work has been disproven so many times, we ought to have finally learned our lessons.  But apparently not.
