When students cheat they end up in the habit of cheating and taking short-cuts, and in the long run this makes their lives worse.

Cheating is like speeding.

If students cheat at subjects that require competent professionals skills, such as medicine and engineering, then we will end up with professionals who cannot execute their professional duties correctly, and that will be bad for society.

I have a strong intuitive feeling that cheating is wrong.

If everyone cheated, it would undermine the very purpose of the activity being performed, so that the activity itself would fail.

There isn't a good objection to this comparison - plagiarism just is theft of property in the same way as stealing a car is

Cars are real but ideas aren't

You can sell a car and profit from it, but you can't sell an idea - they're not worth anything

Stealing a car deprives the owner of the use of their car, but plagiarism doesn't stop them from continuing to use their idea

AI detection software is improving all the time, and we will shortly have a technical solution to this difficulty.

Taylor doesn't say anything about that objection.

It is no more difficult than detecting other plagiarism, which teachers should also try to detect.

Teachers can set traps for students, such as white text that only AI can read, to uncover AI appropriation.

Teachers can forbid use of AI, and that will solve the problem.

I determine that to prevent EP, I could use my extensive knowledge about app development to develop an app that people can use to donate money for poverty relief

I determine that to prevent EP, I could spend a few hours per month volunteering at the local office of a charity that is devoted to poverty relief

I determine that to prevent EP, I could donate the money that I usually spend on trips to the movie theatre

I determine that if I sacrificed more to prevent EP, then I wouldn't be able to buy food for myself and would instead have to spend many of my waking hours begging for money and scrounging for food in dumpsters
