Education isn't meant to prepare you for a job, if it was they'd let you use AI.

I mean the reason they don't let you cheat is precisely so that you /are/ prepared for the job because you have to actually understand how it works

@jestdotty Huh.

I've heard something similar.

General favoritism in school towards 'yes-men', while discouraging free thinkers etc. was / is supposed to result in obedient factory workers.

Or something like that.

It's a certificate of the willingness to spend your money and time on the certificate. People already graduate all the time without learning a thing by mooching off their friends or cheating, so AI wouldn't change a thing. Hell, they should also use AI to grade the assignments, that way professors could be free from their last annoying obligation, and dedicate themselves to research.
