My sister graduated college last summer. She said every single person she knew was using ChatGPT to write essays within a week of its initial release.

I would argue it's pretty well-known outside of tech circles.

Plagarism is kind of the default nowadays in college though (I did not plagarize, but was a TA who caught a lot of it)
