But in practice, having another human cheating for you was often unpractical: people don't usually like helping cheater, and simply trying to find an accomplice may get you in trouble. Because of that, it is relatively inefficient and therefore not a real problem and not a real impact on the final quality of the evaluation.
LLM is indeed just the same, except that finding an accomplice is now easy and without risk.
"Everyone can cheat" is not making the poor equal to the rich, not at all.
The rich gets 2 things: they can pay for stuffs and they can get away for stuffs just because they are rich. The fact that no one is paying does not mean that magically the poor can get away for stuffs.
The things they can get away with includes, for example, the fact that they don't get fired when they don't know their job. The poor still gets fired, the fact that they can now cheat more easily just mean they are shooting themselves in the foot.
The rich and connected adjacent to accounting and willing to cheat would have most probably already worked somewhere else money-related and making an order of magnitude more money.
