I think AI is the perfect final ingredient to ruin the higher education system, which is already in ruins (at least over here in Finland).

Even before AI, our governments have long wanted more grads to make statistics look good and to suppress wages, but don't want to pay for it. So what you get are more students, lower quality of education, lower standards to make students graduate faster. Thanks to AI, now students don't have to really meet even those low standards to pass the courses. What is left is just a huge waste of young people's time and tax payer's money.

There are very few degrees I'm going to recommend to my children. Most just don't provide good value for one's time anymore.
