You people do realize this is likely made-up ragebait, right?

As someone currently in college (soon not to be as I am dumb), I believe it. This indeed is how many do assignments, and also study, thus fully trusting the correctness of the information.

But it's coming from both sides.
Lecturer on programming class told us we can ask questions if we have some. Cool, I did.
So I asked, got "That's a good question, let's find out.", he typed out my question to Gemini, and read back the answer.
This was an introductory class to C, and my question was if you can find how much memory was allocated with malloc. His answer was Gemini's answer which was a concrete no.
Stackoverflow however provided me with better information on the matter: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1281720 (possibly yes)

Also, I've seen him ask and copy paste a number from Gemini. I think it was what a max value is for uint32_t.
Putting 2^32^-1 into a calculator? Nah, let's use an inefficient non-deterministic calculator instead.
Lastly, he added "AI is your most patient teacher".

He did the speaking part of lectures above average, but holy information sources...
