If you are making them aware they will fail by not reading the documentation, then its surprising they would continue to put that off. Using chatgpt is different than only being able to use chatgpt. Then again i was a kid once and kind of get it. Maybe banning it is the better option, as you say.

I thought it was scary enough when instructors would do “locked down” timed tests with short/essay answers. I cant imagine students thinking they’d be fine using chatgpt for stuff theyll need to applicably demonstrate.

I wonder if the drop out rate will increase for colleges due to stuff like this, or if students are majoring in more technical stuff more due to llm overconfidence.

Thanks for your responses!

Im asking about this individuals experience as a ta, not for an opinion on llms.

Oh interesting that they wouldnt need or want to hide that. When i use it i interpret every line of code and decide if its appropriate. If that would be too time consuming then i wouldnt use an llm. I would never deviate from the assignment criterion or the material covered by deferring to some obscure methodology used by an llm.

So i personally dont think its been bad for my education, but i did complete a lot of my education before llms were a thing.

Dont you guys test the students in ways to punish the laziness? I know you are just a ta, but do you think the class could be better about that? Some classes ive taken are terribly quality and all but encouraged laziness, and other classes were perfactly capable of cutting through the bullshit.

How do you know if it doesnt benefit a student? If their work is exceptional, do you assume they didnt use an LLM? Or do you not see any good code anymore?

Cool ad?

It seriously cannot get any worse. Bring on users from any platform. Lemmy sucks and i thank the mods of smaller subs that post diligently about enthusiast topics to add content that isnt dystopian sad sack circlejerk

Im amazed at the quality leaps for output for new versions of chatgpt.

I dont rely on it for project structure and the vast majority of logic but its so fucking cool that i can now give specific instructions and receive a mostly working script, give it the resulting errors, and after a couple prompts i have working code.

Not very surprising that people sticking their head in the sand have no idea what they’re talking about. Our methods of interaction and completeness of input are just as important as the capability of the model.

Well its shorter

Five questions.

This is really stupid.

Im at a perfect equilibrium of indifference for being laid off. Some jobs suck.

What proposal? I dont know what you are talking about.

I want truth.

Yep there might be plenty we disagree with regarding their investments and their affect on the environment but we are just lying to ourselves to say people arent making a living due to some of those investments, having our lives enriched, and generally benefitting us in ways we would demand to keep if they were all magically erased.

Kind of useless to talk about this in any way to come to a sentimental conclusion though because we arent looking at a distribution of data to inform us what generates the most environmental impact and how much value we actually get from it each investment. Its just a big ambigious number until we look into it. Which we wont. Because nobody here actually cares enough.

Thats their investments, not their personal use. According to your source anyway.

This is wrong. Stop.
