Even if all it did was enable a new level of college cheating, which we can already read about today, it'd have hundreds of times the impact of VR.

(Not an endorsement of cheating, just an observation of practical effect)

Maybe colleges will actually have to figure out this thing called "teaching" again instead of just dectupling[1] fees and deferring everything else to some half-baked MOOC and some YouTube lectures.

Any university course that can be cheated on using ChatGPT now has about as much value as a Masters in Pi Digits did in late 1949[2].

And any university that doesn't teach the use of the technology will be underserving it's students, since like it or not, it's out there now.
