‘Cheat On Everything’: How a 21-Year-Old Raised $5.3M for an AI-Powered Cheating Tool—and Sparked a Firestorm

In a world obsessed with AI disruption, one 21-year-old entrepreneur has taken things to an extreme—raising $5.3 million in seed funding for a startup that helps people cheat using artificial intelligence. The company, brazenly branded with the tagline “Cheat on Everything,” offers a tool that helps users bypass traditional systems designed to detect dishonesty—like plagiarism detectors, online exam proctors, and more.
The startup claims its tool is built for “assistance,” but its core promise is clear: help users complete tasks without detection, from academic assignments to workplace tests.
What Is the Tool, Really?
At its core, the product is a stealth AI assistant that operates in the background—generating original responses in real-time, rewriting flagged content to bypass detection algorithms, and even mimicking human typing behavior to avoid suspicion. It's marketed as “undetectable intelligence,” meant to act like a shadow brain.
Whether you're writing an essay, taking an online quiz, or crafting a cover letter, the tool aims to make sure you don’t get caught.
Investors Are Betting Big
Despite the backlash, the startup's concept has attracted major attention in Silicon Valley. Backers argue that it’s not just about cheating—it’s about exposing the cracks in legacy systems. If students and job applicants feel the need to cheat, what does that say about the systems themselves?
One investor reportedly called the tool “the Napster of education”—disruptive, chaotic, and inevitable.
Ethics in the Age of AI
The outrage has been swift and loud, especially from educators, recruiters, and ethicists. Many see the tool as an existential threat to trust-based systems. Schools are already scrambling to adapt to generative AI like ChatGPT—but this tool takes things a step further, offering covert AI help that leaves no trace.
And yet, some argue it’s a mirror—one reflecting the pressure-cooker environments students and job seekers operate in, where performance is everything and authenticity often takes a back seat.
A Slippery Slope?
The startup's rise poses difficult questions:
-
- If AI can do the work better than humans, is using it still “cheating”?
-
Do traditional systems need to evolve instead of resist?
-
Where do we draw the ethical line when AI can mimic us perfectly?
One thing’s for sure—this 21-year-old founder has done more than build a product. He’s sparked a global conversation about honesty, automation, and what it really means to "earn" success in the age of machines.
