Educators might combat cheating by giving assignments that are updated for the skills we want to assess in the 21st century. Instead of giving a problem set that students can complete by scanning it with snap AI or another program, they need to make assignments that require students to use assessed skills in a way that AI can’t complete on its own. 
I wrote an essay for my students using Chatgpt and compared it to an example essay that was provided by AP. We went through and discussed how the essay written by Chatgpt was not as thorough or well-written, by the example student essay, but it was very tight and clean and focused on just meeting the rubric standards. It was helpful for the students to see the limitations and strengths of using AI to support writing. We then talked about how AI might be better for feedback rather than actual essay creation.
