Yea I'm in my senior year right now and a Stem major and literally everything is AI. CS and any engineers that are going to be coding frequently are cooked. At best people just code with AI and then pick at the code to understand it but most students just plug it in and submit it.
Even the lab director is making jokes about online classes being AI classes, there was even a prof that gave an AI made test with an AI answer key lmao. American education is so cooked
Edit I forgot to include the funniest part, one of my classmates asked for a letter of recommendation and the prof gave her a chat GPT letter and didn't even bother to change the part that said " Student name here"
Jesus fucking christ. We don't need climate change to make us extinct; we'll just stupify our way to it first.
Damn. When I was in school I was messing with the very early stages of nltk and machine learning frameworks to try and categorize poetry as a side project. Most classes were still in java and submission was literally printing it off and handing it over to the professor who would mark it up with pen lol.
I wasn't in a big school, but it was a Red Hat feeder. Some of the kids who came up after my have been popping up as applicants in my current workplace and it's pretty bleak.
I do the coding interviews and make sure they're in person and I let them choose what they want to do. Only rule is no AI, only me (I make it clear they can ask any questions and I'll help them if they get stuck). So far, out of 10 or so interviewees I've only had one that could write a fizz buzz in Python...
No big deal on the letter of recommendation, I think? They'd surely understand an overworked professor who uses a template, regardless of whether it's AI.
This is hilarious because I've spent 2 weeks jerry rigging a proctoring solution for an engineering professor, because my university is too poor to afford proctor software.
