It's both healthy and realistic. Let's be real - it's not going away. It seems like it's mostly/somewhat useful now. It's only going to get better. People undoubtedly will find a way to leverage the tool to make themselves more productive. If that's the case, we should (1) continue to teach the skills exhibited by the machine learning models and (2) help students gain mastery over the tools so they can be productive when they start to work in a world where their peers are already using them.
