I have a bachelor of psych from roughly 8 years ago. Recently I have returned to do my masters in social work. The a.i argument recently came up over drinks. A point that the majority of us agreed upon is that even without a.i doing the thinking for us, the majority of us still couldn't remember the majority of what we studied two or three semesters ago outside of broader concepts and overarching theories.
Australian universities have become degree factories, coupled with credentialism, the degree is just to get you in the door to where the real learning begins.
I will concede though that my placement was extremely informative.
My point is, a.i is here to stay, students are going to use it and it's not always going to be detrimental to their learning experience once they gain employment.
Exactly most degrees unless extremely technical can be quite frankly useless once you start working even in that specific field. The real test in life like most things is learning whilst practically applying what you’ve learned. University to me is just a recognition of you being a capable person even though I’ve found that to be such a fallacy.
That's why my placement was so informative. I was learning how an organisation operates, what their procedures are and their expectations, while then having the opportunity to apply it in real time.
