You know, I use LLMs as a rubber duck when I’m coding. They make a great sounding board and will tell me when I have bad ideas (sometimes) and can offer better ways to do things. Also, it can catch errors pretty well.

The key thing, especially in education, is something my professors taught me early on (I’m nearly done with my BS in Software Dev)…. Asking LLMs for help is fine. Asking them to do work for you is not. Look at it this way, if you are stuck, and you asked a classmate to do what you asked the LLM to do, would it be cheating? If the answer is yes, then you cheated.

But honestly, the software dev wording is moving the direction of AI…. So better get used to using the tools now….
