I asked ChatGPT to explain B-Trees and it was more helpful than my 2-hour lecture. Is this the end for traditional teaching?
I’m a 2nd year CS student and I’ve been struggling with some complex data structures lately. I spent hours in a lecture feeling lost, but 15 minutes of back-and-forth prompting with ChatGPT made everything click.
It’s terrifying and amazing at the same time. On one hand, I feel like I have a personal tutor 24/7. On the other, I wonder if I’m becoming too reliant on it to "simplify" things that are supposed to be hard.
For those in industry: Do you feel like your deep fundamental knowledge is being "dulled" by using LLMs for daily tasks, or is this just the new version of using a calculator for math?
