It needs to be put behind a paywall. It will unleash a massive wave of cheating among students, harming hundreds of millions of students' educations by making cheating super easy and undetectable. We age restrict cigarettes because they harm a children's health - ChatGPT beckons hundreds of millions students to go on autopilot at the expense of learning and growing. A pay wall and age verification is the moral choice. If you want to use it, spring for the $10 a month fee and pay for it.

Maybe proctored exams (or oral exams) will become more prevalent, and the homework less important. Or the homework will be meaningful, independently of the tools. Like using wolfram alpha to solve equations step by step, this "cheating" device might actually make some students understand the subject better. Exciting times.

Cheating is an artificial concept that doesn’t apply to numerous cultures around the world.

Maybe ChatGPT makes cheating easier because the entire idea of cheating was flawed to begin with. Being able to trivially transform some information and put your name on it isn’t a valuable human skill any more, just like switchboard operators or VCR Repairman. Perhaps Western culture needs to change to accommodate AI, not AI that needs to change to accommodate our obsolete measures of intelligence.

as reasonable as that proposal sounds, i wonder if that will result in a whole market of asking questions on behalf of students.

As a standard of Ethical AI, all AI companies should require age verification as a pre-requisite for access and mandate blocking services that provide cheating via an API. Some may/will opt-in voluntarily, while others will not. The voluntary opt-in will set a precedent for legal action to mandate it for those that will not. Ultimately, running these large language models won't be trivial, and so you can gate keep access at the API level to prevent unethical usage.

This could lead to inequality, say a dad only cares that his kid gets a good scholarship for Football, having good grades helps with that so he has an account with chatGPT and lets his high schooler use it for all his essays, etc and college admissions essay... Now you have jocks who's parent don't GAF jumping ahead of kids who organically worked hard for their grades, etc...
