That was my thought, it feels like something a career college or high school would do. Are CS students going to have to take a “how to talk to chat gpt course”? That’s probably less condescending than making an arts student or someone else that doesn’t need to have anything to do with LLMs have to sit through it.

I though Purdue was a good school, these kind of gimmicks are usually the province of low-tier universities trying to get attention.

> “how to talk to chat gpt course”?

it's not unrealistic to be selecting for people with strong language skills and the ability to break tasks into discrete components and assemble them into a process. or the skill of being able to define what they do not know.

a lot of what makes a person good with an llm makes them also good at general problem solving.
