(23,593 posts)Not seeing this much yet in my field, but we are starting to use AI for business operations tasks.
One of my colleagues has been teaching a class on AI for 15 years at one of the local colleges, been meaning to have lunch with him to ask him his thoughts.
My whole point is that not going to college is not the answer for most still. I am starting to see people more and more talk about college being a scam and why should their kids go when AI is going to take their jobs anyway. You know who are still making sure their kids get degrees? The wealthy are, that's who. A college education is still going to equip kids to succeed at a much higher rate than those without one, AI or no AI. Your kid will still make a ton more on average with a degree than without one, so why are we seemingly seeing more encouragement to not send kids to college? Seems like less educated people serves the Right.
