The output of plagiarism tools should only serve as a hint to look at a pair of solutions more closely. All judgement should be derived entirely from similarities between solutions and not some artificial similarity score computed by some program.

A surprisingly large number of people do not realise that code on StackOverflow is under a relatively restrictive license.

Some companies take this very seriously and others do not care at all. And, of course, there are companies that outright ban any library without the right licence.

In my experience as a TA, ChatGPT has leveled the playing field. Previously, some nationalities cheated significantly more often, but now almost everyone (at least 85 %, probably more) cheat with ChatGPT. There is not much point in providing homework assignments anymore.

This does not work in practice because the majority of students will postpone watching all recordings until the last possible moment and then be overwhelmed with too much work at once. With physical or virtual attendance, the students are forced to schedule their time properly, although it is less convenient for the small minority of students who have the discipline to make their own schedule.
