We often talk about GenAI as it is going to replace us. Well, maybe it will, but given what I saw in programming, it will not happen tomorrow. GenAI is good at supporting and co-piloting human programmers and software engineers, but it does not solve complex problems such as architectural design or algorithm design.
In this article, the authors pose an alternative thesis. They support the thesis that GenAI should challenge humans to be better and to unleash their creativity. In this piece, the authors identify the use of AI to provoke things like better text headlines for articles, identifying non-tested code, dead-code or other types of challenges.
They finish up the article with the thesis that we, universities, need to be better at teaching critical thinking. So, let’s do that from the new year!
