@ai6yr There will be so much more of this. I'm also seeing this in the MSc / Phd programs I'm involved in. Not good.

In response to this post@ai6yr Some more on this. I code, a lot, but I'm not formally trained in this in any way. What I do know is problem solving (from nerding around in linux mostly). And what I see increasingly is a total lack of problem solving skills.
I can code up things and at some point realize there is too much friction - which triggers the "spider" sense that there must be a better way. Then you hunt, in known literature, or reconsider the whole thing.
That last bit, today, is completely missing for many.
@ai6yr That last bit is engineering, that last bit is science in the abstract, or any creative enterprise. That last bit is digging up more than boiler plate GenAI stuff, that last bit is connecting all the dots.
And for now, this is beyond reach for these LLM models (as it is an out of distribution problem). And if it can be solved by "agents", it still is tremendously wasteful of energy for what is just sitting down and problem solving (also called thinking).
*end of ranting*
