“Tech companies don’t care that students use calculators to cheat”
AI is just a tool like a calculator. No company cares about their employees beyond getting work out of them. If a potential employee shows that they can use the tools at their disposal to get the job done then why would they care?

Bingo.
If a school keeps giving their students assignments that current tools can answer easily, the school needs to change their assignments.

So, back to hand written reports, and physical books only found at the library?

They love getting people out there that don’t know how to work a job out there without LLMs. Long term customers with money for sure. Problem is if these engineers start building bridges that collapse due to hallucinations. LLMs are s great tool for learning and doing some of the repetitive work. But somebody building a bridge better sniff out if the llm starts talking out of it’s ass and that comes from actually knowing your shit and having experience. I use LLMs all the time, but the result needs to pass my inspection, always.

Of course they don’t care. They only care about profits. Nothing more.

Tech companies (like most companies) want people reliant on their products, of course they’re ok with this

The tech companies are cheaters too

Nor should they. It’s up to the educational institutions to move with the times and make assessments that make sense in the current world.

They will care a lot more when all the new engineers they try to hire end up falling prey to the LLM ouroboros

Sounds like a problem that’s going to be after next quarter!

Fair point - throw it on the tech debt pile, we’ll get to it

Nbd, they expect thr bubble to have popped by then and their current company to have gone belly up. They just want to squeeze as much money as possible before that.
