Once the student actually learns their trade in school, then if they use AI in their job, they can proof read what ai wrote to see if it makes sense to pass it out. All ai output should be evaluated before using it.

Nowadays, all the colleges are dumbing down their criteria so everybody advances, which produces not so bright graduates. Some schools/states have made it a rule not to give students tests because they don’t want anybody to fail.
Yes this is when “education” becomes meaningless. When anyone can pass…at my university the engineers passed a horse to get his degree. They write every test for him over the years and brought him on stage to accept his certificate. After that you had to id yourself to write an exam. This was way before AI, before computers, before calculators.

When higher education becomes an institution where 50% of the population can pass to get a degree, why bother? Just buy the certificate on line. Cheaper for everyone involved and just as valuable.
