Exactly. School isn’t really about memorizing facts, it’s about learning and honing Critical Thinking Skills. That’s how humans are supposed to think, and without it, people substitute chaotic thinking that makes them susceptible to manipulation.
Also, it teaches us how to interact with other humans, so our first instinct isn’t just to KILL them.
In reality the vast majority of the workload may be formatting and word choice that is quite far from thinking.
And then you’re getting a bachelor’s degree and because you’re big dumb dumb who doesn’t really know anything, your task is to collate and paraphrase something not dumb people thought, maybe applying it to some case you have, but not thinking independently.
A masters thesis can have just a little bit of thinking as a, treat, but most leave school before they reach levels where one thinks when writing.
God forbid they learn how to think, when LLMs can do it (kind of) for them
I love how some people are ready to just give up on everything now that AI can do it
I mean, I was ready to give up everything before AI, it was just in a more flammable way.

That’s why we go to school.
At least it should be this way, the reality might be different sometimes:/
