Students should absolutely not use cloud LLMs.

Maybe there should be a class on how how to use LLMs too.

But learning computer science using LLMs all the time will be like learning to ride a bike using training wheels, and never taking them off.

Or like learning to add fractions by looking up the answer key instead of actually struggling to figure it out.
