@r_alb this story made my head spin.
I have so many questions, starting from how it is posssible that they actually encourage students/demand of them using llm in research at this particular course of studies.
Maybe the lecturer wanted to show the students how this thing hallucinates and how to deal with that? I.e. never trust what it gives you? I can't see any other reason.
Anyway, congrats! You stood up for yourself and two other people in the room.
Also, I love your little polls, could you keep it up while you prepare to the test? Fun!
