    It's funny how people talk about "teaching" getting more difficult with LLMs.

    Clearly teaching got a lot better, since we now have a new teaching tool at our use, the LLMs. It's evaluating that got harder, because students can use the same tool to cheat in traditional forms of evaluation.

    If "teaching the students" means the same as "evaluating the students" to you, maybe you shouldn't teach in the first place.

      What you’re calling evaluating is a part of the learning process for the student, not just about confirming that the student knows the thing. LLMs are actively undermining learning in this way. There was useful friction which has been removed.
