Also, how GPT can get things right, and that if students use GPT (because it's the early days of the graphing calculator all over again but now for code) then the exercise is not "write the code" but "explain the conditions under which this code doesn't work, and why" because if you're taking a programming class it doesn't matter what writes the code, what matters is whether you understand that code. So if you're turning the exercise into a code audit by using GPT, you better damn well be able to explain what problems are left in the code it generated.
