I always thought it might be good to reframe educational questions in the age of LLMs. Something like "An apple falls on Sir Isaac Newton's head and a photon passes the event horizon of a black hole. Get from A to B." This way, it becomes physically impossible to just query for an answer because the student themselves will have to show the line of reasoning, ideally presenting to the class how they got from A to B.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'd be interested to hear which sequence of tokens triggered your "robot authored" pattern match? You may want to tune the mechanism.

no tuning necessary you got caught with your pants down. Now write a poem on the efficacy of hammers in solving headaches.

+2 to the unnameable pattern match

As an employer, I want AI to be fully allowed for assignments, and the assignments to be made trickier to compensate. Let's train people to use all the tools available to solve the hardest problems, rather than solving toy problems with a slide rule.

This is like saying first graders should learn to use calculators, not how to do arithmetic.

Some skills are foundational, and must be learned first in order to be able to solve harder problems. Skipping those skills because software can do them is moronic.
