Im confused, are you suggesting students using AI to do their assignments for them and have them learn nothing will benefit them more or less in the future when they entire a competitive environment?
I read it as either:
1. Everyone already employed is "cheating" and not using fundamentals. Therefore to prepare them for the workforce them must just learn to "cheat" effectively.
2. "Milquetoast environments" -- A general "tough love" trope, without a lot of detail on how the training-challenge maps to the future-need.
I mean, we could flip the argument around too: If the future competition everyone slinging stuff through LLM slop, then giving them fundamental skills to distinguish themselves becomes more important, rather than less.
Universities should be places which are at the bleeding edge of development and providing society with the best new ideas/tech, etc has to offer. Junior workers should be hotbeds of exciting talent which have the ability to revolutionise industries.
By creating such milquetoast environments to study in, which are seemingly scared or unable to prepare people for the future, students are being done a disservice.
Far too many people are far too comfortable with their cushty positions, and it's not doing the youth any favours.
