  • 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!



  • 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.





  • 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.











  • Granted i havent tried gimp 3. Ill have to give it a try. But im so fast with ps. And i hate how each program needs to have their own control schemes to differentiate.

    I just dont get why people hate photoshop to the point of being unhelpful when people ask how to get it working. Especially when many people are pirating it anyways.
