   Replace the profs with ai. Force every student to do a three hour one on one interview test with the ai prof to demonstrate mastery and get a final grade. Have other ai proctor. Replace homework with similar “ai sessions” where the student is guided by ai and given specific exercises tailored to the students learning trajectory and personal profile. Students can and will learn better with ai “professors” than they do now. The problem is that higher education is not about learning ultimately. The problem is ai in education is that ai exposes the lie, it was never about learning, it was about credentials, money and control.

      If my department ever reached a point of such disrespect for their students, I'd quit my degree on the spot. I understand what a university degree is, and wouldn't pay full tuition for this sad pantomime of one.
