An article by Hua Hsu of the New Yorker, examining the implications of A.I. on the purpose of higher education.
Getting a degree has always involved students completing a set of requirements in exchange for credentials, however, A.I. has created a process for bypassing the challenges of completing a degree.
“But even for the most mercenary of students, the pursuit of a grade or a diploma has come with an ancillary benefit. You’re being taught how to do something difficult, and maybe, along the way, you come to appreciate the process of learning. But the arrival of A.I. means that you can now bypass the process, and the difficulty, altogether.”
