An acquaintance of mine is in college for CS and he says his classmates use AI for everything and don't really learn the material. He dreads group projects because he'll be paired with classmates who have AI write code that doesn't work and they don't understand. But also it's apparently lead to a lot of writing code by hand on paper for assignments and tests and stuff and he is also annoyed that he'll get dinged for stuff like overlooking a semicolon that would be an obvious compile-time error when writing code on paper.

I feel bad for him because it seems like it's going to be hard for him to find a job next spring. (And in all fairness, I don't know how good or bad he actually is at CS.)
