What a waste of money. Why go to school if you’re just going to use AI? What are you paying for?
A piece of paper you can get in front of your parents, then wipe your ass with.
Getting practice at ctrl-C, ctrl-V?
The piece of paper that companies keep demanding you have, despite their AI black box always filtering you out for hyper specific and arbitrary reasons?
The real answer is they're probably just lazy, but I wouldn't blame anyone who doesn't really value the work that goes into their degrees and diplomas anymore (not that I'm against post-secondary education, though)
No, the first thing you said was the real answer.
