Is there any evidence to suggest more people are cheating now that there is AI than before, or is everybody just flipping out because the cheaters have changed tactics?

It's almost always good to ask about what evidence we have.

I'd say that our prior should be that there's more cheating. My logic:

Almost any good or service gets consumed more when its price drops (especially if quality also goes up). Cheating has gotten massively cheaper in terms of effort: you no longer have hire a ghostwriter for your essay, or laboriously plagiarise passages from the literature yourself.

That logic is the conventional wisdom, but I just want to know whether it's true empirically.
