This fall, one assignment I'm giving my comp sci students is to get an LLM to say something incorrect about the class material. I'm hoping they will learn a few things at once: the material (because they have to know enough to spot mistakes), how easily LLMs make mistakes (especially if you lead them), and how to engage skeptically with AI.

I love this. A teacher that actually engages with change instead of just pretending it's evil or doesn't exist. Refreshing.

Take care because intentionally pushing the LLM out of distribution tends to produce more unhinged results. If you find your students dropping out to become one with "recursion" don't say no one warned you! :P
