) have begun to influence software engineeringpractice since the public release of GitHub's Copilot and OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022. Tools builton LLM technology could revolutionize the way software engineering is practiced, offeringinteractive “assistants” that can answer questions and prototype software. It falls to softwareengineering educators to teach future software engineers how to use such tools well, byincorporating them into their pedagogy.While some institutions have banned ChatGPT, other institutions have opted to issue guidelinesfor its use. Additionally, researchers have proposed strategies to address potential issues in theeducational and professional use of LLMs. As of yet, there have been few studies that report onthe use of LLMs

Eliza snapshotThe afternoon session introduced LLMs using ChatGPT. A two-server setup with provided codeenabled access to the OpenAI’s API, with one server a modified version of the Eliza server fromthe morning, and the other a custom proxy server to enable access to the API with revealing APIkeys. The proxy server also pruned prompts to ChatGPT to ensure responses matched the formatof non-ChatGPT version of the Eliza chatbot.
