That's the worst one I've encountered. Usually its just disengagement. Like they ask for help, our techs start showing them the solution steps, and rather than watching the steps as we go, they are on their phone checking Instagram. Like they think help is somebody else doing their job for them.
they probably used Ai to do all thier HW in college, given that covid means no one does i in person, thats likely what happened so they expected to be done after they used AI. they likely were on Social media while doing their hw.
