AI writes essays for you

Complains about no job you studied for existing

AI writes for you

you studied for?

I think I see the problem here.


More seriously, most people don't end up working what they studied for. And the job market absolutely does suck.

    People don't seem to understand how accurate the bottom statement is aside from like 2 or 3 highly specialized things (Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers (maybe).

    Yup. If you have a matketing, management, accounting, finance, economics, political science, arts, etc. Degrees It's like throwing darts as to where you land, it might be close to your degree, but rarely do you land on the mark. The ones that did already had connections and the school was just a box to check for them.

    Not writing your own papers.

    Still claim to have been "studying."

    To me studying is the learning you do. Writing essays is purely so the teacher can see what you’ve learnt.

    So I can see how not writing essays doesn’t contradict learning.

    Writing essays is a skill in itself, not sure how you'd acquire that skill without practicing it

    If you’re learning a writing course, maybe that’s a relevant skill to have. Often it’s not however.

    Learning how to share your thoughts in a way the the reader will understand is a skill universally useful no matter the future white-collar job, from making sparkling water to software engineering.

    Writing the essays is how you drill the information into your brain, it is the act of learning. You need to critically think about the subject matter to write the essay in a way you likely won't have when you were first taught the information.

    If ai was writing your essays, you weren't studying for anything.

    Aye, when grades are the goal then using AI to cheat your way into better grades seems rational at the time; educational institutions need to be reformed so that grades are not the indicator, for the indicator has become the goal, not the actual education.

    AI isn't what is destroying jobs.

    But it looks like it destroyed your education. That one you can fix.

    Its all marketing. Look into the statistics and actual stories of the companies who have embraced AI. They have seen no productivity gains, not a single one. They are basically forcing managers to use it at the threat of losing their jobs, even though it can't actually do the work.

    They are invested way too deep into AI. They need to convince all the CEOS to buy it and use it whether it works or not. It's not ready, but they don't care because they have no time to wait. If they can't pay their investors and loans they loose a shit load of money and the economy goes into a deep recession.

    All of these cuts because of "AI" are just disguises that there companies aren't doing too well right now and we are probably already in the beginning of a recession. But if they say they are firing for AI their stock goes up, instead of down.

    It's fucked, but not the way you think.

    Wtf are kids doing in college now anyway? All the jobs their going for have been flooded with slop that corporations love. I have no idea how a college student would survive today.
