Doesn't help if students manually type the assignment requirements instead of just copying & pasting the entire document in there

And is harmful for people like me, who like to copy paste the pdf into a markdown file write answers there and send a rendered pdf to professors. While I keep the markdowns as my notes for everything. I'd read the text I copied.

That's an odd level of cheating yet being industrious in a tedious sort of way...

Or, you know, if you read the prompt before sending, look at the question after you've selected it, or just read your own work once. This method will only work if students are being really stupid about cheating.
