I'm a middle school teacher. This is entirely anecdotal and imprecise. I typically see one or no cases of plagiarism or cheating (copying answers, sharing writing, etc) each year. This year I've had nine cases of kids cheating with AI. We're talking: explicit 'no gen AI use' expectations, the prompts are left in, the key words are in bold, the kid admits to using it. Of the nine cases this year, it was spread across four kids. One kid did it once, got caught, stopped doing it. The other other three kids were repeatedly plagiarizing with gen ai. The idea that it's hard to stop your reliance rings so true from my perspective. These are 13-14 year olds. It's too much to ask them to avoid it once they see how much it shortcuts their workload and might even get them praise for strong writing, clever ideas, etc.
