"When students feel so disenfranchised from their school experience by a grading system stuck in the Industrial Age’s equivocation of intelligence with performance, are we at all surprised that AI-assistive tech is a tempting way to get ahead?"

This jibes with my experience of students seeking "shortcuts" when the value, relevancy, and connection to assignments and material is tenuous or, frankly, wholly absent.

Having students reflect and identify the value of certain experiences-including challenging educational pursuits-will be critical in this work. As educators, we must be responsive to students who are not seeing value or relevancy in what we are offering. As with many pedagogical principles, this is one of those many "easier said (or written) than done" maxims.
