Abstract

In recent years, the capabilities of AI-based programming assistants have increased dramatically and have transcended the field of Computer Science. The impact that these systems have on the field of education and in particular on the teaching of computer programming is particularly significant because this is the field in which they possibly achieve their best results. These advances have been covered in the general media, giving rise to a very interesting and pertinent debate with a question that runs through the whole discussion: do these assistants represent the end of computer programming as we currently conceive it?. This paper analyses the possible impact of this technology on the teaching-learning process of programming in a first year subject of a Computer Engineering degree. Some experiments carried out with ChatGPT applied to the practical programming exercises used as laboratory practice in the subject are presented. The work ends with the presentation of some conclusions derved from the experiments carried out, as well as with the posing of several questions that, although undoubtedly topical, lack conclusive answers in many cases.
