      Using AI for everything rather than learning stops working entirely once you hit upper level courses - I can assure you most people who do this beyond sophomore year will not obtain a degree, especially at any research-oriented institution

        I want to believe you, but the people at my school are abusing it a lot, to the point where i they just give an entire assignment through chatGPT and it gives them a solution.

        The only time I see where it didn’t fully work is using it for my skip list implementation. I asked a LLM to implement a skiplist with insert, delete, and get functionality. What it gave me is an implementation that traversed through the list as a standard linked list: it is unaware of the time complexity concept associated with the skiplist, and implements it as a standard O(1) linked list. It works, but it doesn’t incorporate the “skipping” of nodes. I wonder how many student are shitting in their pants when they realize that the time isn’t being reduced compared to a standard linked list.
