Serious question on GE essays/assignments

If you worked this hard to get into school and already paying tons of money to get a degree, why use generative ai to submit GE humanities assignments? No one is forcing you to get an education, and getting into school means that you signed up to complete GE courses. They are there for a reason. Not to mention that using it can be easily detected. If you think your professor/TA does not know that you used ai, it is because they decided not to pursue it (it creates so much extra work for both, it might get you suspended if flagged, and it is disrespectful to everyone involved).

Just honestly trying to understand as a TA.
