"It'll just automagically solve itself"
Techno-solutionism truly is a sect at this point
This isn't yet another "we need to change a few things at the tail end" problem like internet was. You have people getting in higher education with barely any skills whatsoever, not even the basics to just get by
Education was already not in good shape in the west, COVID made it worse and now we get LLMs. https://www.gisreportsonline.com/r/worsening-2022-pisa-tests-results-oecd/ https://www.gisreportsonline.com/r/worsening-2022-pisa-tests...
It's going to be a major issue, especially in a world that requires higher and higher education, coupled with systems which are more and more complex, and fragile. Internet was supposed to make everyone smarter, we quickly discovered that information != intelligence, let's see how it goes for LLM but if anything it'll make use even more dependent on technology.
And couple that with teens spending on average 5 hours per day on social media...
I sometimes watch archive footage of kids answering questions in school in the 70s vs now, and it's painfully obvious that the level plummeted, the average kid back then was more eloquent than most young adults today

A greater percentage of the workforce will be doing manual labor, and that doesn't really require much of an education at all. Those with means will have access to a proper education as always, but that group of people is going to shrink.
