> a university degree can be obtained by mere compliance or demonstration of learning
Exactly. It “only” shows you can & willing to at least understand the requirements, internalize them well enough, and comply with them. It shows your capability of understanding & working together with other humans.
Which is key.
In my impression, almost always the knowledge you receive at the uni is not really pertinent to any actual job, and anyone can have PhD level understanding of a subject without having finished high school.
It is the capability of understanding and working in a system that matters.
Similarly with a chatbot. Using it to game interviews in ways described does not mean candidate is stupid, or something like that. It is, though, a negative signal of one’s willingness and intrinsic motivation to do things like internalizing job responsibilities & procedures, or just simply behave in good faith.
Mental capacity to do mundane things is often important when it comes to, say, maintaining a nuclear reactor.

Perhaps. Personally I prefer using Google, so that I at least know who wrote what and why rather than completely outsourcing this to an anonymous team of data engineers at ClosedAI or whatnot, but if it is efficient to get some knowledge then why not?
It’s using it to blatantly cheat and do the key part for you where it becomes questionable.
