Secretly looking forward to this entire population of people who use AI to answer all of their questions because they're going to look stupid AF if they need to answer anything in person.

I'm waiting for the first run of failed construction projects when it turns out the new architects and builders used AI across the board and no one actually understands the concepts that uphold our ability to build megaprojects well enough.

@Cassandra_Complex @Alice I keep thinking this when I hear about some university students using AI so much. Like, you're going to end up not actually knowing about the thing you hold a degree in, so won't actually get a job it with, and you've incurred a massive debt to get there! Great work.

Exactly, and if they get hired just because they have the degree and the paperwork, we get into a worse position where all the people who understood the concepts die or retire and no one knows. I guarantee we'll see a "sorry the bridge failed, the AI said it should stand up fine!"

@Cassandra_Complex @Alice Employers are going to have to institute "Figure out if this person actually knows how to be an engineer" tests before taking on recently qualified people.
