If the assignment is a multiplication task to learn multiplication, then, of course, using a calculator is cheating. However, if the task includes multiplication but the goal of the idea has nothing to do with multiplication, then sure, go ahead and use a calculator because it will get you there faster.

These systems, on the other hand, are very capable. You can actually ask them to do a whole assignment or important parts of it, and often, they will do it. Some models scored more than average in multiple tasks. I can imagine that in a year or two, it will be rather easy to access these kinds of systems, but which will be much better than average in all tasks. Let's see what brings us GPT-4, which will be here at the latest February according to rumours.

thats the whole point tho.

its like maybe we just wont do low level code anymore and will just shift to higher level abstractions. Its not like anyone writes in assembly code anymore for example. In a graduate cs program you dont spend more than a few weeks on basic assembly code nowadays. So professors will just have to assign higher level problems that dont involve you coding every for-loop or typing out every class.
