Microsoft Word had auto summarize as far back as the early 2000s (and probably before then, I only found it my junior or senior year of high school). Plop a wall of text into a word docume, click auto summarize, limit the number of direct quotes to three words max, hit enter. I was clever af (except that one paper on Gorbachev where the paragraph entirely composed of wingdings exposed my strategy a bit), or so I'd have thought.
Lo and behold my cheating somehow didn't prepare me for regular life, and so I had to learn lessons in college (the one year that I went), and early on in my career, in my early 20s, that I should've learned in school. The lesson was that you sometimes need to just do the fucking work. Hopefully the kids in this experiment learned that, but more than likely they learned to cheat better.
