I am half tempted to show students how easy it is to fool the detection. Turn something into a parenthetical, remove red flag phrases, cut out fluff. Or better yet, just use it as a skeleton draft and rewrite it in your own words. Then I would show them how easy it is for me to see through their fudging, which I do by just noting down the similarities between papers and the information inside the GPT response. In some cases there is 100% overlap between the two. They always repeat certain words, too, so I use ripgrep to see who else used them and do cross sectional comparisons. But I also think for now it's a good idea to take the magician's code on that part of the process, at least when communicating with the students directly.

All of this is the kind of detective work that most graduate students are not qualified to perform easily.
