Students who use the "word of the week" can easily explain it by saying they used an AI in their studies.
"You asked us to write an essay on the Civil War. The first thing I did was ask an AI to explain it to me, and I asked the AI some follow-up questions. Then I did some research using other sources and wrote my paper."
It might even be a true story, and in such a case it's not surprising that the student would repeat words they encountered while studying.
