If a student uses AI to simply code-gen without understanding the code (e.g. in my compilers class if they just generate the recursive-descent parser w/Claude, fixing all the tests) then they are robbing themselves of the opportunity to learn how to code.
In OP I showed an AGENTS.md file I give my students. I think this is using AI in a manner productive for intellectual development.
I asked my students in a take home lab to write tests for a function that computes the Collatz sequence. Half of the class returned AI generated tests that tested the algorithm with floating point and negative numbers (for "correct" results, and not for input validation). I am not doing anything take home anymore.
