Maybe the degrees should be awarded to AI, not the student.

Get rid of AI, save the students, and watch them go on and use healthy young minds - minds that haven't been crippled by AI - to dazzle their teachers and all of us.

That's what teachers hope for. I've met so many teachers in despair because of what AI is doing to students.

And I've seen tech CEOs applaud the change, preach about their vision of a future where teachers are replaced by AI, and encourage students to cheat. I saw one AI CEO post that students should use AI to cheat their way through school because once they have that degree, AI will be their "superpower."
