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

reply

What is Stack Overflow?

reply

Q&A platform for programming related questions, though they've expanded to a lot of other subjects too beyond programming

reply

Wow! There were times when that would have come in very handy, long ago! I suppose they do life hacks, too.

reply

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~~).

reply

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.

reply

It'd be fun to find a jailbreak forcing it to answer truthfully to this question~~

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!

reply

That's true. Always funny when they copy each other and the thing they're copying is wrong

reply

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).
