Perhaps this tendency needs to be reversed?
If you have one big exam (or a few of them spread over the year) that it's impossible to use LLM help for and those exams carry enough weight to make the student fail the class if they completely bomb it ... then you'll be stopping the LLM-cheaters dead in their tracks. Sure, they can be lazy and do much of their coursework that way, but if they're being lazy like that, they're likely not actually learning anything, and that will show up during the big exams. And when they fail those big exams and then fail the class, hopefully they'll learn their lesson about relying on LLMs to get them through classes.
