Time will tell. Can't fight it, anyhow, best is to embrace it and make the best of it.
Yes, but they still have to be able to figure out how to fix the problems they create using those tools.
I guess that is what many people also thought of computers, spreadsheets and accounting software. I can tell you from direct experience that accounting software using accountants sometimes have a hell of a time finding their errors. They just are not sure of their debits and credits and which goes where. Then there is the transposed number problem that is difficult to find when using software. Perhaps every profession has the same problems.
Which tool do your students use? ChatGPT?
I'm impressed your students are 'over reliant' on AI lol
I think I am under reliant on AI
They try to use ChatGPT to help them with coding assignments
It's plain as day because they use commands and code patterns that I never taught them but still work (usually)
Half the time they didn't change the name of the variables either so their code doesn't run 🙄
I see
ChatGPT has replaced Stack Overflow
What is Stack Overflow?
Q&A platform for programming related questions, though they've expanded to a lot of other subjects too beyond programming
Wow! There were times when that would have come in very handy, long ago! I suppose they do life hacks, too.
Whenever googling coding issues, there is a very high likelihood of ending up on SO. ChatGPT has probably been trained on SO (even though when asking ChatGPT it claims it hasn't~~).
Of course it would claim it hasn’t! The company is in ongoing court hassles over training materials. I would bet that ChatGPT denies all training materials if asked directly, except those that are free and open.
Yep, that looks like what students have done since time immemorial. If they use each other’s work, they don’t bother changing anything but the name on the paper!
That's true. Always funny when they copy each other and the thing they're copying is wrong
I alway got a kick out of it. Especially when I was writing a big fat zero on the paper and writing the reason for the grade, citing the other’s paper (it got a zero, too).
I'm really concerned for this generation of students who are over reliant on AI.
But on the other hand maybe that's what older generations thought of calculators.
Every generations learns to do the tasks it needs using the tools it has available I suppose
