Should Universities Raise or Lower Admission Requirements for CS Programs in the Age of GenAI?
One way to address the shifts in computer science is to differentiate more clearly between research-oriented academic programs and more application-focused ones.
The term "hallucination" takes us away from understanding the value of GenAI connecting the things it is sure of with plausible but fantastical material.
