Well, this student didn’t know that, or hadn’t sufficiently internalized it. Any policy that only serves “the good students” but does nothing to help the rest grow is a disservice. I’ve had profs give inscrutable lectures and, when asked to clarify, reply that “the good students would’ve gotten it.”

It's also a disservice to them if classes get derailed by students who don't.
But point taken, some effort should be made to teach these things.
I actually don't mind if students use ChatGPT, it's not going to go away, and even good students will use it. Universities will need to adapt to this.
It could be useful to have the LLM provide a response to a question and then ask students to critique its response.
I agree but I don't think there's any need to derail a class. A simple "Okay, let's instead ask someone who can give me their thoughts on the question without having to ask an AI" and moving on would entirely suffice.
