‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

I think that you believe what you described - 700 words a week - would be “obviously absurd” to everyone here… What you described is such a tiny work load it’s shocking to see you frame it like this.
But to answer directly: What you’re expected to do in school is learn, not fake your way through so you can come out an utter dumb ass on the other side. I know I would have used the tools if I had them as a kid. No adult could have convinced me of the damage I’m doing to myself and the world. I doubt anything any of us say will change your mind - but I am sure a great many students will hate themselves for doing this to themselves 10 or 20 years down the line.
