> Yes, if they are "responsible" for the code delivered, where responsible means they understand the code, the architecture, the decisions made, etc.

This is a good principle to maintain, I think.

I'm not a professor, but I manage a team of about a dozen people. The maxim I have is: "You're responsible for anything that hits git."

Don't care if the LLM generated it, or the LLM told you if it's a good idea. If you commit it, you are endorsing it as a good idea - so you're the one I'm going to ask about it. I see the same principle at work in your pedagogy.

This hits. Especially this part:

> and really, what could I do if I were?

My completely unsolicited opinion: you're doing a responsible thing by teaching these students how to use AI as a reference, and keeping them honest about not using it as a substitute for their own critical thinking.
