>If AI tools do not actually work, how are students able to cheat with them?

Cheating doesn't have to work for it to be cheating.

If you get caught robbing a bank that doesn't un-rob the bank.

But the students would quickly learn not to try to cheat in this way. It would be a non-issue.

We have police and prisons yet people still commit crimes.

Because until you're caught, crime pays. That wouldn't be the same with AI cheating. If the AI didn't work, your cheating wouldn't pay off even if you don't get caught because you're still failing the assignment. No one cheats by asking to copy the homework of the dumbest kid in the class.
We have lots of students and eternally manufacture more.
