Maybe take the approach many physics classes embrace (in germany) : All tools are allowed in tests: calculators, books, as long as the correct answer is derived with "correct derivation path".

If chatgpt makes some problems too easy maybe it's a good thing because we can raise the bar. Find problems that require true understanding beyond auto complete / copy pasting.

This isn’t too different from requiring students to write essays. No one actually needs another essay about Shakespeare or whatever, and ChatGPT could do it for you, but the point of the exercise is to learn to write. It’s the process, not the product that matters.

Everyone’s ChatGPT gangsta until their ChatGPT-trained doctors start giving fatally wrong diagnosis. 100% agree with whole comment. I interview cheaters time to time, their excuse of not learning stuff is exactly that. However, in the end they’ve cheated themselves more than the system.

With the rate they give fatally wrong diagnoses and treatment plans today, I wonder if ChatGPT could be actually better for patients.

? ChatGPT doesn't diagnose and isn't a doctor.

Prompt: I cough, have sore throat and a fever of 39C. What is my illness?

ChatGPT: Based on the symptoms you described, it is possible that you have a viral respiratory infection such as the flu (influenza) or a common cold. It's also possible that you have COVID-19, which can cause similar symptoms.

GitHub Copilot quite often delivers comments alongside the code for a prompt.

Almost certainly the bar for problems that ChatGPT cannot solve is far, far higher than a student who is just learning computer science.

Haha try it for some basic functions and algorithms and you're up for a surprise
