CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Funny thing is, this isn't even new. I had students in the past (~2008) who blatantly copied and pasted stack overflow solutions to a compiling program that almost did the things they wanted them to do.

Unfortunately these programs also did a lot more, a lot wrong and didn't show structure or a recognizable thought process behind it.

These students couldn't even describe what their code, that they claimed they wrote themselves, was supposed to do.

Feels a lot like vibe coding nowadays, with the main difference, that each if these students realized that they had to put in the effort to learn their basics to actually receive their grades (Most of them did) and it was part of their learning journey.

IMHO this stage of realization is missing with most vibe coders nowadays, so these people never actually start a learning journey.

While you're right with what you say you circumvent the actual question.

It's about the expected/perceived level of quality, not the actual quality (and maybe about morality).

If the prices are the same would you buy the organic fair traded oranges or the ones that come from a company known for exploiting their workers and not caring for environmental impacts of their production?
