I’m on the middle of my CS Degree, and seems that every assignment I need to use a LLM, or is because short deadlines or the people in your group use LLM and without critical thinking of it. Some teachers seems to be fine with that, however my experience is that we make complex essays and complex class diagrams, a lot of code, however no one seems to understand or learn form what they are making and wend defending their work only can do it by reading a resume the LLM made, that make me hopeless and unmotivated. I what is yours experience and opinions on this matter?

P.S. Sorry for any grammar error with English, is not my main language. About AI I am not fully against AI. The Local LLM installed on my machine is helpful for a few things, but the amount that we are using on CS seems too much.

    You taking these courses at a very strange time in computer science. As somebody that has mixed feelings on LLM’s and ML in general, I implore you to focus on understanding the real crux of the content in your courses.

    Even if LLM’s have a place in the future world and even if they supplant much of writing code, we will soon be facing a big shortage of people who understand what the hell is going on. Be one of those people and you will flourish.

    It is like taking calculus and having a computer do all your derivation and integration. That’s not the point. The point is understanding what makes them so neat and useful.
