One thing I tell my students is that after they've coded something up and it's working, they can give it to an LLM and get a code review. Code reviews have always been beneficial, and AI gives us a chance to get them a lot more frequently. I also tell students to be critical of the response that the LLM gives them; be opinionated and have a rationale.

But in almost all classes, I tell them to not use LLMs to generate the solution up front. This ties into what you were saying about the boring stuff. If you know something like the back of your hand, the knowledge gain by rewriting it for the zillionth time is minimal. And so the loss from using an LLM to generate it is also minimal. But if it's something new and you're punting to the AI, you are sacrificing skills gain.
