generative ai tools – Noise https://noise.getoto.net The collective thoughts of the interwebz Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:52:35 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.2 Integrating generative AI into introductory programming classes https://noise.getoto.net/2025/03/06/integrating-generative-ai-into-introductory-programming-classes/ Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:52:35 +0000 https://www.raspberrypi.org/?p=89586 Generative AI (GenAI) tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT are rapidly changing how programming is taught and learnt. These tools can solve assignments with remarkable accuracy. GPT-4, for example, scored an impressive 99.5% on an undergraduate computer science exam, compared to Codex’s 78% just two years earlier. With such capabilities, researchers are shifting from asking,…

As a computing educator or researcher, you might wonder what impact generative AI tools will have on how young people learn programming. In our latest research seminar, Barbara Ericson and Xinying Hou…
