Just want to take a moment and give the @wiresharkfoundation.org a shout-out for having AWESOME documentation.

I absolutely love it when official docs include clear and concise explanations, including "hey here's this common issue, why it happens, and a few ways to work around it."

Problem solving is part of research, and LLMs are pretty good at finding objective answers. But the expertise in my opinion comes with intimately understanding a problem and with how you make decisions to address those problems.

It's a tool and you knew when and how to use it; I think the problem is when students use it indiscriminately in attempts to skirt the actual exercise of thinking through a problem and, ultimately, learning.

I fully agree with this. I think there's also an important distinction to be made between using AI to help you code vs using AI to code for you. It has no context of the specific things you're trying to do, but it might help when reading through documentation or looking for examples.

Windows Notepad, the native simple text editor, now has formatting options and a Copilot button.

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.
