In some sense, for a class like CS50, experiencing first-hand that current LLMs are often confidently wrong could be seen as part of the educational mission. If you asked me what the first thing that a young user should know about today's tech is, then it's probably that.

Humans love taking the path of least resistance. It's tempting to trust whatever ChatGPT says, especially if you are a young student. Getting burned and learning the hard way is how most students are going to learn this lesson, just like any other lesson in life.
Being efficient and being lazy are rubbing up against each other with LLMs. A lot of blurred cognitive lines with this budding technology.
