Maybe the concept of homework that isn't interesting enough for them to want to solve it on their own should be thrown out then? Trying to force someone to learn something never works. At least I personally learn the most when there's some cool thing I want to do and delve into a rabbit hole figuring it out, there is basically nothing that can stop me experimenting and reading stuff to understand what's happening then, and I'll use all of the tools I can to speed up that process, whether it's search engines, reading research papers, or messing with the AI and trying to make sense of its output. Having the AI generate mostly-functioning code is often a great first step towards having something to mess around with before going deeper.
