Well of course. LLMs have been able to automate so many bullshit assignments for students. I am not talking about the ones where they actually have to learn about a subject that is important to things in life. But the ones where the entire point of the assignment is to write pages.

Education still hasn't caught up with the many technological advances in the latest years. Some still act like it are the 1950's.

    Did you read the OP? The point is, writing pages of bullshit is how you get better at writing. It's like saying "Oh yeah I don't want to do all these bullshit exercises at the gym too build muscle I should just sit at home and let a robot do them for me" the whole point is building the skill not producing the assignment.

    Yes I read it, and what I am saying is that modern day users don't need to be able to write bullshit because of all the advances in technology.

    Give purposeful assignment instead. You still get people to write and they learn something as well. 2 birds with 1 stone.

    It is like forcing students to come to school using a steam train because they will know how to keep a steam engine working so it makes them better at shoveling.
