Harming them.

I told a new grad employee to write some unit tests for his code, explained the high level concepts and what I was looking for, and pointed him at some resources. He spun his wheels for weeks, and it turned out he was trying to get ChatGPT to teach him how to do it, but it would always give him wrong answers.

I eventually had to tell him, point blank, to stop using ChatGPT, read the articles, and ask me (or a teammate) if he needed help.
