I appreciate the comment, and it's a point I'll be making this year in my courses. More than ever, students have been struggling to motivate themselves to do the work. The world's on fire and it's hard to intrinsically motivate to do hard things for the sake of learning, I get it. Get a degree to get a job to survive, learning is secondary. But this survival mindset means that the easiest way is the best way, and it's going to crumble long-term.

It's like jumping into an MMORPG and using a bot to play the whole game. Sure you have a cap level character, but you have no idea how to play, how to build a character, and you don't get any of the references anyone else is making.
