As a student, I constantly worry about this. But everyone in my class is producing output at a pace I can't compete with without AI assistance.
- Avshalom 8mo agowhat class are you in that "producing output at a [rapid] pace" is relevant to the grade?
- rishabhaiover 8mo agopick any cs class
- Avshalom 8mo agoI have a minor in CS and no -producing the assignment by the deadline is important- grades are not based on quantity of code vs classmates.
- rsynnott 8mo agoI mean, maybe things have changed (I finished college about 20 years ago), but I don't remember producing large volumes of stuff as being a particularly important part of a CS degree.
- rishabhaiover 8mo agoBetween a challenging job market, increasing new frontiers of learning (AI, MLops, parallel hardware) and an average mind like mine, a tool that increases throughput is likely to be adopted by masses, whether you like it or not and quality is not a concern for most, passing and getting an A is (most of my professors actively encourage to use LLMs for reports/code generation/presentations)
- plastic-enjoyer 8mo agoIt will be a very interesting experiment when your generation of computer science graduates enters the job market, to put it mildly.

- andai 8mo agoHistorical forces beyond your awareness cannot force you to submit mountains of slop.
- rishabhaiover 8mo agoslop is not a thing anymore, stop living in a fantasy world

- lawn 8mo agoThat was never a worry in any of my CS classes.
- theappsecguy 8mo agoCopying AI slop isn’t producing output! It’s also not conducive to learning
- fatherwavelet 8mo agoAs if you are just a such a genius the models are of no use to you. How can you not think that makes you sound like a complete moron?
- SubmarineClub 8mo agoI guess I really am just that much smarter than you.
- theappsecguy 8mo agoI would urge you to leverage some critical thinking, re-read what I stated, and identify where I said that the models are of no use to me. If the ability to think for yourself without AI assistance hasn't fully atrophied on your end you may be able to see that you are the moron in this thread.
