I couldn't access the paper to evaluate it, but the results reported in the abstract are consistent with what I and professor-friends have observed on the ground: students who use AI to "help" with out-of-class assignments bomb in-class exams.

Looking at change rates in wages versus consumer prices 3-month annualized, in the most recent data...
Wages (red) up at a 2.8% rate and prices up at 7.3% rate (blue). So real hourly wages falling at abt 4.5% annualized rate.
If continues, average hour'll buy 4.5% less than a year before
