I don't think education has anything to do with this. AI tools are pretty easily accessible to anyone and you don't need a "classical education" to wield them.

If anything, I think the necessity of education is going to be weakened further and more quickly in the next decade.
- bamboozled 4y agoWhat a nice sounding dystopian future you've described there.
- ZephyrBlu 4y agoWhat's dystopian about it?
- bamboozled 4y agoHaving people not really needing education and just becoming dumb consumers of AI products? Sounds like a boring future.
- ZephyrBlu 4y agoWe already have too many people going to university. Less people getting degrees would be a net positive. Knowledge and education is still important, but credentialed education is reducing in value. Not sure why people using AI tools would mean they're "dumb consumers". Are we "dumb consumers" of IDEs? Credentials mattering less and more AI tools sounds like a very interesting future to me.
- bamboozled 4y agoIf anything, I think the necessity of education is going to be weakened further and more quickly in the next decade. You used the term "education" not "degrees".
- ZephyrBlu 4y agoIn this context "classical education" referred to degrees, and I shortened that to "education". I thought it was obvious from context that by "education" I meant degrees.
- bee_rider 4y agoI think they point they were making was that a job as a lower-skill artist was a potential on-ramp to a job as higher-skill artist. It isn’t obvious at this point what the skill ceiling is, on using AI tools, since they’ve only been around for a couple months.
