Back then, you'd find usable info on the web. Now everything is buried under centuries worth of AI slop read. Plus it was more accepted to have blind spots on your knowledge. Now everyone using AI raises some bars and the only sucker not using AI gets a worse grade.
Also most professors try offsetting the cheaters by increasing exam weights, meanwhile people using chatbots finish all their homeworks in like 5 minutes and spend rest of their time studying for the test specifically.
Things were already pretty bad under 'clickbait' slop, AI has certainly exacerbated the issue.
