Imagine paying tens of thousands of dollars (probably of their parents saved money) to go to university and have a chatbot do the whole thing for you.

These kids are going to get spit out into a world where they will have no practical knowledge and no ability to critically think or adapt.

    Do you really think schools teach critical thinking and practical knowledge? State mandated education is geared to produce people who are smart enough to run the system and stupid enough not to question it. The fact that this dullard factory is being distrupted by what is essentially an electronic parrot speaks volumes about the whole charade.

    I'm not talking about state mandated education. Nobody is required to attend university.

    If you go to a college worth attending, they will teach you critical thinking skills as part of the course requirements.

    Regardless, the situation with generative AI is not helping in that regard.
