What's dystopian about it?

  Having people not really needing education and just becoming dumb consumers of AI products? Sounds like a boring future.

    We 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.

      If 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".

        In 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.
