  You frame that as if the same can’t happen if you use AI. At least if you actually do the work you have the knowledge and the ability to research.

    My argument is knowledge is priceless, but education is worthless. Degrees now mean nothing whether AI assisted or not so going into insane debt for no reason is reckless.

      depends on your major, and if you were able to get said experience. if a students gets a psyche or studies degree without the forethought of a graduate schools thats on them, and i hear alot of them whine and become bitter about it. just because you can finish the degree faster, wont lead you to a job.

      If you’re coding or whatever this is fine. But I would really, really like my doctors and engineers to be educated by other doctors and engineers.

        I want coders to learn from trusted sources too. How do you authorize a user? How do you store the password (plain text, hash, encrypt)? Do you use MD5 or SHA-256? (Always hash passwords, don’t use MD5)

        If you have to encrypt some information, do you use Triple DES or AES? (never Triple DES)

        When authorizing with OAuth, should I send the auth url, client secret, scopes, and redirect url to the client machine? (yes, no, yes, yes)

        ---

        These are basic questions with obvious answers that are easy to find…and many programmers get them very, very wrong. Mostly out of carelessness, even the question itself didn’t pop into their head.

        You have way too much faith in humans.
