You’d then be shocked by how many students at my university (in engineering btw) who simply take the assignment at hand, put it in chatGPT and submits it.
No, my intention wasn’t to undermine the value of a degree. I’m saying most people priorities for getting a degree, more specifically an engineering degree, is to just have a pay check. On a more related note, there’s a lot of “engineering majors” that use artificial intelligence to code, who don’t actually enjoy the process of learning at my uni.
So yea, at the rate of adoption and use of generative AI at my school, a pool boy can do what most of the sophomore engineers do.
Using AI for everything rather than learning stops working entirely once you hit upper level courses - I can assure you most people who do this beyond sophomore year will not obtain a degree, especially at any research-oriented institution

Is you comment an attempt to undermine the value of a degree?
The students themselves are doing it, it’s not the commenter’s fault.
From the high school and university teachers I’ve talked to, AI is commonly used and it actively undermines their learning.
It’s a pretty new tech so many schools don’t have a solid policy on its use. It’s a mess

TLDR “Well no but actually yes”
