You're right, ChatGPT is probabilistic. None of this is graded by the way -- it's all just for fun and bragging rights.

I've asked students to share their full dialog, both prompts and replies, so the whole class gets to see; and I'll invite one or two to talk through their attempts. This is all just a trick to make students engage with "how do you you spot bugs in a proof?", hopefully more than they would from just reading CLRS! Often, students engage well when they're hearing the material from other students.




I think this is a great idea. I love when teachers do something fun and innovative like this!
