Better they don’t learn anything at all then the lazy ones pass, right?!
I think this is stupid. Ai use is a symptom and can be controlled. But it is helpful when learning to see more advanced work so you learn how it all comes together.
Edit: I think you’re missing the point: the kids who want to make a game and learn are punished by removing this, and the kids who want to slack off aren’t being hurt by cutting corners.
If I take a math course and everything is submitted from someone else solving it for me I’ll come off learning nothing.
And usually when it comes to advanced work it builds on the understanding of previous ones, so if you come off learning nothing from the one before then you hit a road block.
If you are able to do something with zero knowledge then it is something they don’t need you for, and you’ll probably lack the skills required for the advanced ones that do if you couldn’t even do the basics yourself.
When learning something like derivatives my teacher made me do it the painful slow way of doing through graphing as opposed to using a formula. Afterwards we were allowed to use formulas and then later just our calculators.
Same thing applies to coding. AI bypasses learning fundamentals if the intent of the class is to teach the basics. If people run it through AI then there’s little reason for the class to exist and funds are better spend elsewhere.
Later on: “I can’t code or figure out code… how did this happen? I took courses and I chose the AI that passed them… why don’t I know the skills they were supposed to teach? “
No reason to look at all this and assume anyone learns anything.

But are they learning anything other than “AI will do it for me”?
Are they learning anything when you take the fun exercise away from the motivated kids?
That’s more my issue.
If the other kids are using AI fix THAT. Don’t take away the fun projects.
Well then give us the solution then to this problem of being able to easily differentiate student made projects and pure AI slop.
I’m sure the organizers and judges of this competition who literally started they cannot easily do so would love your answer.
You missed the point. No one was doing the “fun exercise”.
