Then I found this:

Give the students two options:
"Option A: I will not use any chatbot, only traditional web searches. Any use of them will be considered cheating.
Option B: I may use a chatbot as it’s part of my toolbox. I will then respect the following rules:
1) I will inform the professor each time information come from a chatbot
2) When explaining my answers, I will share the prompts I’ve used so the professor understands how I use the tool
3) I will identify mistakes in answers from the chatbot and explain why those are mistakes
Not following those rules will be considered cheating. Mistakes made by chatbots will be considered more important than honest human mistakes, resulting in the loss of more points."
This feels like a good game-theoretic solution to me. Still some problems (e.g. Option A students worried if Google AI summaries counted).
I think this - with me saying that Option A is the way the course is designed to be taken - could do good things. Right now I'm planning to try it this year, as an experiment.
