The internet disrupted libraries. AI will do the same to universities. Before the internet, libraries were the go-to place for information. Same reason our parents lined their shelves with encyclopedia sets. Now most libraries feel obsolete. College education, aside from the hard sciences, is heading the same way. In a few years it’ll look just as outdated. AI will replace the bloated, overpriced, lecture-based education system that’s long overdue for disruption and unnecessary in a modern tech-based society.

I know AI will replace trades based upon what Microsoft had done in a recent study. They're in the middle of the probability of replacement.
💯
Thanks God
learn hybrid, love holding physical books, sometimes thinking, will printing really disappear?
Not when there are people who pay for it.
Being able to think, learn and communicate well is something no university can teaching you. You have to do it yourself.
Disagree, a lot of what I learnt was how to read and understand scientific literature and write my own reasoned and evidenced conclusions from that. This would have been much harder without guidance.
I see your point.
I agree in that guidance provided in a formal education can be extremely helpful to learn.
But in the end, if you understand and learn, will depend on the work you put in. At least to a great extent.
What remains after an education depends on how you approached things.
Going to university can have the positive effect of likeminded people working on the same topics.
But really learning and thinking is something only you can do.
Obtaining guidance, is something you have to accept and take on.
I have friends who are educators. He is a primary school principal and she is a primary teacher. They are both in denial about the coming AI impact.
Yes
I could see that happening
I think not at all. Education is so much about social skills, getting over dificulties and helping others.
These are things one needs supportive com unities and good teachers. And I would not see how this could be done well by AI soon.
A lot of lawyers could bemreplaced fast. Lot of office jobs too. Product support could be done better by machines as well. To give fast accurate support instead of having to call around to several people.
Medical analyses can probably be supported very efficiently by AI.
Arts I can only see it as support not as replacement ever. Every innovative work will have to be done by human too. Manual work will be hard to replace in many sectors. Care work will be hard to replace as well.
