AI evolves each day

Educators can combat cheating in their classroom by teaching students the proper ways to use AI.  Unlike their teachers, students are growing up with the use of AI.  I remember being taught in high school the difference between plagiarism and copying someones "ideas."  We need to do the same as educators and teach the students the difference between using AI to assist with assignments verses to complete the assignments for them.  Once they know the difference, they can use AI to assist in learning material instead of it completing their homework for them.  I grade my student's homework based on effort, not accuracy, for this exact reason.  
I have used a site called SchoolAI and I have found it pretty helpful.  I teach my core math classes, Desmos curriculum, and then one period of math lab.  During math lab, I create additional work practice using this site.  I can type in the standard that I am teaching and it can create a unit, lesson, warm up, exit ticket, activity, independent work and so on.  I use it to create additional practice based on the NYS Next Gen Standards.  The worksheets look well made and easy for students to follow.
