Technology

I asked Chatty for a TL;DR:

Western fear of AI comes from a fascist obsession with "owning" ideas. Using AI isn't a big deal — if students can "cheat," it’s because courses are badly designed, not because students are inherently dishonest. Most students don’t cheat; the narrative that they do is exaggerated to justify punishing them unfairly. Academia exploits students, charging massive fees while offering poor educational value and using dishonesty accusations to control them. Education should be free and empowering, not a tool for gatekeeping and oppression. The current system betrays the purpose of education and contributes to larger societal decline.

I think you went a bit too far. Most of this is also only accurate for the US.
