"Why would you use LLMs to do your homework instead of learning things??"
...because students are coerced into doing homework they never asked for and they have been taught for a decade+ that grades are the only thing that matters, and so they have no real choice but to optimize their participation in this bizarre social dance of pretending to learn things to participate in society?
If only people had been warning for decades that common schooling methods are inefficient and encouraging the wrong things. If only.

Like, I get it, LLMs are terrible and all, and you won't find me disagreeing there, but "our sacred homework standards!" is extremely *not* the hill to be dying on there

@joepie91 @mynameistillian I have no shame in admitting that I have ChatGPT write essays for me sometimes (I have it set to mimic my usual writing style and all) because of the bullshit topics they shove down our throats.
Why do they want me to write essays about 19th-century Russian literature in a STEM curriculum...

@joepie91 can you tell me why you think LLMs are terrible?
