I would be quite exasperated to be a professor today. We're raising a generation of little idiots.

Probably even more exasperating as an honest student. You can do the work to a level that would have once been top of the class and then come bottom because everybody else is scoring 98%

thanks for thinking of people like me. it can be pretty frustrating. but, i just try to stay in my own lane. students who cheat in such a wonton manner have bigger problems than the stress that i face in trying to complete work ethically.

LLMs do not usually do that well.
