As someone who works in higher-ed and also has taught middle school and high school aged kids, my opinion is not that LLM use is exploding among students because they're lazy or stupid or anything else

it's because our educational system has prioritized a very transactional "do this bullshit, and you get the credentials you need to have a life" approach for

well

maybe forever, really

and no one should be surprised that adversarial approaches by teachers and administrators are being met with an adversarial approach by students

@left_adjoint As someone who recently got their bachelor: Everything i did was just to get the credit points, then forget everything to make space for the next.

Im sure there is leftover understanding in my brain but thats the thing that is encouraged.

I really have to get students to unlearn this during our internship to allow them to become good professionals.

This is an example of the Welcome slides I provide at the start of the internship.
