The implication there is that this is acceptable to pass a robotics class, and potentially this gives them more information about students' comprehension to further improve their instruction and teaching ("...that they have some kind of internal understanding to share").
On that second point, I have yet to see someone demonstrate a "smart, professional programmer use LLMs" in a way where it produces high quality output in their area of expertise, while improving their efficiency and thus saving time for them (compared to them just using a good, old IDE)!
