LLMs make it very easy to cheat, both academically and professionally. What this looks like in the workplace is a junior engineer not understanding their task or how to do it but stuffing everything into the LLM until lint passes. This breaks the trust model: there are many requirements that are a little hard to verify than an LLM might miss, and the junior engineer can now represent to you that they "did what you ask" without really certifying the work output. I believe that this kind of professional cheating is just as widespread as academic cheating, which is an epidemic.
What we really need is people who can certify that a task was done correctly, who can use LLMs as an aid. LLMs simply cannot be responsible for complex requirements. There is no way to hold them accountable.
