From the article:<p>> <i>In my class last fall, I told students that they could use generative AI to get a better understanding of what was going on. They could not use it on problem sets. It was crystal clear that people used it on problem sets anyway because they would turn in assignments that would have been too sophisticated for a 126 student."</i><p>Reminds me of that clip from "The Critic" where Americans can purchase guns from a vending machine but first have to answer NO to the question "Are you a criminal?"<p><a href="https://imgur.com/a/gfOmddR" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/gfOmddR</a><p>And coincidentally also when people were saying that vibe coding was strictly intended for prototyping / experimenting and not for production. Uh huh, sure buddy, and I have a bridge to sell you.<p>On a more positive note, Brian Kernighan comes across in the interview as exactly the kind of teacher you'd want to have - super genuine and passionate about imparting knowledge to his students.
