And how do you propose that to work if the internet is still full of AI services that just give you the answer or write your essay? The only way an Illustrated Primer can work if you can’t trivially cheat. Which is to say, it solves nothing compared to the current situation.

Why are you assuming that all students will cheat? That's entirely unreasonable.

But if you want a way to push cheaters towards doing the work then a boarding school without cell service would work. Although I guess these days you'd also have to account for starlink and the like.

Probably easier to warn everyone that they will almost certainly fail if they cheat and then be entirely uncompromising when it comes time for exams. Not your problem if they knowingly shoot themselves in the foot.
