"Tech companies don't care that students use calculators to cheat"
AI is just a tool like a calculator. No company cares about their employees beyond getting work out of them. If a potential employee shows that they can use the tools at their disposal to get the job done then why would they care?
They love getting people out there that don't know how to work a job out there without LLMs. Long term customers with money for sure. Problem is if these engineers start building bridges that collapse due to hallucinations. LLMs are s great tool for learning and doing some of the repetitive work. But somebody building a bridge better sniff out if the llm starts talking out of it's ass and that comes from actually knowing your shit and having experience. I use LLMs all the time, but the result needs to pass my inspection, always.
