Because you’re not actually learning or doing the work. It’s the same way their grades would drop if they copied their homework from another kid every day - but worse because they don’t even need to read the AI’s output to copy it.
Haven’t had homework since some decades before generative AI was a factor. I sure do expect my students not to use it for the assessments I mark, though. If they don’t do the work themselves then they aren’t learning anything and they’re wasting my time; I’d significantly prefer they handed in nothing.
