Real Feelings About Cheating Coverage
The Cheat Sheet, Vol.378

Abstract
I work at a regional university in Australia, I teach nursing students, and deal with academic misconduct issues within the School. Because of my interest in all things related to academic misconduct, a colleague forwarded me a copy of this article published by ABC News in Australia: Murdoch University student fights accusation of illegal AI use in assignment - ABC News.
The title of the piece automatically offends me, as it mentions the illegal use of AI. As far as I am aware, there is no legislation making the use of AI illegal. No State or Territory in Australia and no country in the world has yet to make the use of AI illegal. There are reports from China, where the country shut down the genAI apps to stop cheating during national exams (China Temporarily Shuts Down AI Apps to Stop Cheating During National Exams), but this seems to be the closest any country has come to making AI illegal.
