We tend to think about intelligence in terms of capacity, but "stupidity" is generally more about emotion and self control. I suspect every gambling addict has the brain power to figure out they have a problem. It's not a fundamentally complex issue. That doesn't mean they stop.

Students are often fully aware their use of ChatGPT is a bad idea. Like the gambling addict, that doesn't mean they stop. Forcing yourself to do your schoolwork has always been difficult, and they've been given a way out.

Often and fully aware? I sincerely doubt it. I’d bet it’s only a tiny minority of students who use ChatGPT who think it’s a bad idea.

Unlike the gambling addict, they can’t feel the immediate repercussions of their actions. Those will only be available in hindsight, long after they can correct.
