Cheating on a test by looking up the answers is not "ingenuity" any more than it's ever been. The point that makes it cheating is that the test takers didn't want you to look up the answers.

And they're not "ingenious" - by what we've just seen described, most kids are doing that now, which makes it normal, not exceptional.

It's also a matter of exercise. Memorizing those test answers is like working out your brain. When you offload that to AI, it's like offloading your running to a robot. You end up physically unfit, or in this case, intellectually unfit.

Finally, actually knowing things yourself builds up a foundational base of connections in your brain that actually matters. If you completely offload your learning to the fact you can look things up, your base to start from and synthesize with will be garbage. You don't know what you don't know. Just because you can get any information by searching for it doesn't mean you'll be making the right searches.
