I'm on the middle of my CS Degree, and seems that every assignment I need to use a LLM, or is because short deadlines or the people in your group use LLM and without critical thinking of it. Some teachers seems to be fine with that, however my experience is that we make complex essays and complex class diagrams, a lot of code, however no one seems to understand or learn form what they are making and wend defending their work only can do it by reading a resume the LLM made, that make me hopeless and unmotivated. I what is yours experience and opinions on this matter?

P.S. Sorry for any grammar error with English, is not my main language. About AI I am not fully against AI. The Local LLM installed on my machine is helpful for a few things, but the amount that we are using on CS seems too much.

Hi there. I JUST finished my CS degree. ChatGPT-2 came out while I was in year 1.

I have not used LLM in a single assignment or project. I have had group projects where my groupmates used AI for coding, writing and researching, but my own goal is always to learn, so I refused to use it. If no one understands the code but you do, you have the advantage.

If you're having problems with deadlines, just do them earlier then. I often start assignments within 2 days after they were posted. There's always plenty of buffer time. It's about growing a good habit.
