let your haters become taters in the chip bag of success

In Germany (as an example) the education was more standardized in gymnasium (hs). I went to Uni there and realized they also learn way more than we do in hs - you can’t assume US college freshmen know very basic skills like college level essay writing. That’s what GenEds are for.

One thing genEds do is catch everyone up to a certain basic level of knowledge - in the US high schools teach radically different things. In principle this makes sure everyone has the same baseline and thus a similar chance at success with their majors/electives.

It isn’t too early to say: the technology that is allowing people to cheat through all of their classes and learn nothing is bad. It’s unethical to sit back and wait for this to be quantitatively proved one day, when it’s obviously happening rn. Anyone who works with college student sees this daily.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.
