I believe this is an important question, especially now that Microsoft is already putting a compose feature in its newest Edge browser that will not just open a text box for you to write in, but do the actual writing for you - even suggesting tone, format and length for what will appear as "your" words. See this post in LBN, particularly my comments in the OP: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143031627
This feature is being pushed as something that will make emails, blog posts, etc., easy, by writing them for you. So expect to see it used for message boards, dating apps, etc. Expect to see it used more often by people who believe it will make them seem more intelligent, literate and witty.
I'm not asking this only about the use of AI to cheat in school. There are some people who disapprove of that, but who still want to use AI to write things for their own purposes and convenience, whether that's a business letter or a thank-you letter or a poem or a novel.
So, how do you feel about it?

I would not use AI to write for me and do not want to deal with people who use it, or buy AI-generated writing. | |

I might use AI myself but would like to be sure that other people's writing is really their own. | |

I won't use AI myself but wouldn't mind if other people's writing is all or partly AI-generated. | |

I'm fine with AI myself and don't mind others using it to write something they couldn't have written on their own. | |
