This is rather interesting.

I'm a bit confused as to where/what exactly the scam newsworthiness is. It seems to be scamming for college money/grants/scholarships/loans. However I"m not clear on how this is different from a real student that just never shows up and flunks out eventually. The scam seems started before the enrollment of school when they were approved for the money. The scammer succeeded when they got the money approved before enrolling. It seems like AI is just making it easier to exploit a known loophole longer.

Isn't this just the continued bottom dropping out of the higher education bloat and education financing cash grab overall.
