Something that concerns me the most is how are we going to train new generations. I teached a course at the university and many students just chatgpted everything, without any critical thinking.

It doesn't matter how many times you showed that it invented assembly instructions or wxwidgets functions, they insist on cheating. I even told them the analogy of going to the gym: you lift with your own strength, you don't use a crane.

And of course, it is evident when you receive students that don't know what is a function or that cannot complete simple exercises during a written test.

We learned by reading, lots of trial and failing, curiosity, asking around, building a minimal reproducible bug for stackoverflow... they (the ones that rely only on chatgpt and not their brain) cannot even formulate a question by themselves.
