You are right - this is a new activity professors have to pick up. A latent point in my previous comment was that maybe some professors have not as much expertise as may be required. Now that this expertise is sort of democratised there's more pressure on professors to get better.

I sure does use it to prepare exams etc. Problem is students don’t seem to see the reason for not using GPT to solve them ;) for me it perfectly makes sense to prepare exams and labs with some AI help… but this questions both my role and the role of in-person education.

Really I consider stopping doing it at all…

Yeah I agree! I use GPTs (Gemini 2 series and o3 etc.) and they are excellent! But even they sometimes don't quite get the nuance of things or subtly misses the point! There are certain "meta-cognitive" limitations ... I would never bet against the AGI industry and I can only assume that these issues will eventually be solved after we build planets of computronium and force every word and thought any human ever utters to be recorded and trained on. But for now there remain some limitations.
