At this time, Caltech's Undergraduate and Graduate Deans, the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Outreach, and the Hixon Writing Center strongly discourage the use of GenAI tools designed to detect GenAI use in student writing. First and foremost, these tools are not reliable. They produce false positives and false negatives, and they are not an aid to investigations into academic dishonesty cases.

You may not use generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Copilot, Colab’s built-in AI) in this course. This is not to deny the increasingly important role that LLMs play in the modern practice of programming and research; we merely note that, in an instructional capacity in an introductory course, we generally find them counterproductive. The lone exception is that, on rare occasions, we may explicitly ask you to engage with AI tools on a per-problem basis. These cases will be clearly marked on the respective homework sets.
