Because the purpose of most homework is not to give you a “real world task”.

It is to give you simplified toy problems that allow you to test your understanding of key concepts that you can use as building blocks.

By skipping those, and outsourcing “understanding” of the fundamentals to LLMs, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Unless the goal of the degree is to prepare you for MBA-style management of tools building things you don’t understand.
