While I agree with your suggestion, the comparison does not hold: calculators do not tell you which numbers to input and compute. With an LLM you can just ask vaguely, and get an often passable result

Then figure out how to structure the assignment to make students show their work. If a student doesn't understand the concept, it will show in how they prompt AI.

For example, you could require that students submit all logs of AI conversations, and show all changes they made to the code produced.

IE, yesterday I asked ChatGPT how to add a copy to clipboard button in MudBlazor. It told me the button didn't exist, and then wrote the component for me. That saved me a bunch of research; but I needed to refactor the code for various reasons.

So, if this was for an assignment, I could turn in both my log from ChatGPT, and then show the changes I made to the code ChatGPT provided.
