It's like having wood sawing as a woodworking exam, when power saws have just been invented.



Sounds like you’re missing the point. A saw is a tool. A power saw is a faster tool. It doesn’t change the skill of the wielder, but may make certain actions more or less cost effective.

An essay is a demonstration of your ability to understand and analyze. Lowering the cost of cheating like this is ultimately worse for everyone. Forget about school, there’s someone with a real job typing random bullshit into of ChatGPT and using it having no idea wtf he is talking about.
