> This requires the AI be restrained by some harness

How would this magic harness look like and why would anyone use it?

"I need help with my homework, but I don't want answers, just guidance on how to get to the answer".

Put that in your agents.md.

  • I'm way beyond homework, but I do appreciate the compliment on seeming young!

    I meant: what's going to stop the average lazy student from ignoring whatever harness the university recommends and instead use an unrestricted LLM, thus learning nothing?

      Nothing until they start failing exams and maybe seeing the error of their ways. My suggestions wasn't for you, it was for the smart student who wants to use AI to enhance their learning but not have it do all the work.

      But cheating isn't new. People have been cheating in school for centuries. It's easier now, but the consequences were always the same. At some point the chickens come home to roost and you pay the piper.
