In an ideal environment, people like that are not liked; it is better to understand right away that this is a bad path. Understanding this won't even make you want such things.

I don't want to win by cheating! Scammers, in my opinion, should be banned!

I think the same way, it is better to learn and use the necessary time needed to acquire the necessary knowledge since no one is going to steal them from you than to cheat, what's more, knowledge has more value.

Is it cheating to be ahead of the curve? Is it cheating to use a calculator? What about advanced AI?

Even if I had the tools to cheat, my answer would still be no, I wouldn't do it. Poker is like a sanctuary for me, where I come with a pure heart every day. My poker philosophy is based solely on fair play at the tables. ;)

Cheating takes the fun out of the game, if you win by cheating you are not a good player and for me in poker I prefer to be good than to have shortcuts

I play a lot of boardgames where it's a lot easier to cheat if you wanted too then in (online) poker. But it ruins the experience and the integrity of the game. If people ever find out your reputation is in shambles.

I remember an ice cream shop in my town running an "honesty test" and losing money. The idea was for customers to pay for their ice cream themselves. The company placed a freezer with ice cream and a box outside the store for customers to drop off their cash. The end result was a loss of 16% of the total value of the products.

No, cheating is for losers that know that they just can't win fair and square,straight up.

No, I wouldn't cheat.
I sincerely believe that it is possible to cheat in lesser-known places. But I don't just play to make money; I play for fun, too. Cheating would take all the fun out of him.

Crooks have no place among honest players.

How do you feel after the last hand of a tourney, a hand that you've on? (With no cheating involved).
I wouldn't exchange that feeling for nothing in the world!

Several people answered my question, thank you. My answer is that, if I had the tools and knowledge to do it, I wouldn't do it systematically, not even twice. But if I played for millions of dollars that would make me forget about money for the rest of my life, I would definitely do it. Does that make me a cheater? Or just someone who cheated that time at that specific time? I don't know, and I don't care.
