If a SW dev applicant gives a 20-file generated output for a 20-line assessment problem and can’t explain single lines of “their” code, either what they should be doing or why “they” had written it, it’s gonna be a no fron me, dawg. A standard problem might have different solutions, but fixing the issue of the day to the satisfaction of a rabidly vocal customer base might have one at most, and it will change multiple times on a whim.
So the LLM might have helped them cheat their way to an MSc, but real there’s no cheating your way through real life.

At that rate me walking to the store is stochastic because a grand piano could fall on my head. We have to draw the line at some logical point.

What line are we trying to draw exactly? I think that’s the part I’m still confused on.

I think you’re arguing for arguing’s sake. If you don’t see the point by now, then I am unable to make it more clear. I’m sorry.

You’re saying “we have to draw the line”. If I’m understanding the discussion at hand, I’m saying: we don’t. But I’d like to clarify what line it is you think we need to draw.
I think this is an interesting discussion to have, but if it’s not enjoyable to you, we can end it here. Cheers.
