I'm in an online degree program in mathematics in my forties and this temptation is very real. The LLMs have memorized every textbook and every exercise so it's easy to have the kinds of conversations that before I could only have with TAs during office hours, and skip the mental struggle.
At least in my most recent class, it's also wrecked the class discussion forums that I previously found very helpful. By the end half the students were just slop-posting entire conceptual explanations and exercises, complete with different terminology, notation, and methods than the class text. So you just skip those and look for the few students you know are actually trying.
