The use of chatgpt for writing is so widespread in higher ed, it will cause serious problems to those students when entering the workforce.

Lots of fancy stuff is written about how we just have to change the way we teach!, and how we can use chatgpt in lessons! blablabla, but it’s all ignorant of the fact that some things need to be learnt by doing them, and students can’t understand how they hurt their own learning, because they don’t know what they don’t know.

Anything thesis-like or scientific, definitely LaTeX. What needs to die is slides in LaTeX however. That is definitely outdated and so restricted. Even libre office PowerPoint is better. But again, the power of math syntax is strong here. You’re very likely to see that ugly beamer format in CS and math classes.

I don’t get why people need to be in camps. Just use…both?
