more like monetizing the Dunning Kruger effect.
That comment is pure gold and I am archiving it for future use.
Universities have not been in the business if monetizing knowledge for decades, if not centuries.
Knowledge has been easy to access for a LONG time. Universities give you access to a well constructed curriculum, competent teachers, and a certificate you actually learnt the material somewhat decently.
American universities are too expensive, yes, but American anything means you pay more and you get less, so singling out universities is missing the forest for a tree (even if arguably one of the biggest of those trees)
AI provides no knowledge and only makes its users dumber for relying on it. Don’t we have enough SciFi episodes out there to have already learned this lesson?
