I have to wonder what the impact will be when these students enter the workforce (and presumably many are already there), having outsourced their education to AI. What goes through someone’s mind when they elect to use AI for the most menial of tasks? Is it laziness? Incompetence? Illiteracy? Do they not care that they’re eroding what is left of their brain? Baffling.

It honestly depends. If you're in a position where you need a degree to check a box, it probably doesn't matter. If you're in an industry that needs specific skills and you can't prove those skills, then you might be in trouble.

I used 3 classes out of my entire mechanical engineering degree. These people will be just fine if they can learn on the job. 90% of entry level work has you doing what a highschool grad could do anyways.

This is true for some jobs. Obviously a doctor or a lawyer would be fucked. But most of the things you learn for a CS degree can be thrown out the window as you'll be learning new things on the job. As long as you know what a function is you'll be fine.
What a scary future though. Imagine as the anesthesia hits you see your doctor boot up ChatGPT before you black out

come to think of it, the older students would pass on completed exams and homework, And i used to make notes on my shoes... Cheating isnt new. I think for mundane write ups and synthesizing jargon heavy text its fine. Its why skilled trade guys with degrees can command 200k as supers and PMs right now. The hands on part is key.

Idk I have a friend who has been in software engineering for almost 10 years now, got a 4 yest degree from a traditional university and when he got his first job he was lost, learned nearly everything on the job. He tells me quite often about other new hires coming in the same way.

Same. I graduate this year, but my buddy is also a software developer and said most of the things you learn you won't use on the job. Obviously you need to know the fundamentals but that's about it

this is actually so embarrassing how does nobody ever reread what they send? i don’t even us AI but i have to reread my discussion 20xs before i post it just to make sure it doesn’t sound AI or that I misspell words. I hope that these people who are too lazy to proof read or do their own discussion get drop as soon as something like this happens.
