RE: ChatGPT vs. University Professors -- Not a Fair Fight (Not Even Close)
wait for GPT4, it is much much stronger and gets close to singularity in terms of processes.

Without question the technology will only grow stronger.
I am by no means against those technological advances, just recognizing that we as educators must strive to stay ahead of the curve if we are to effectively serve our students. Ultimately, I see advances in technologies like this leading to a shift away from credential-based learning to skills-based learning.
Right now, students come to the university to get a 'diploma' that says they sat through a bunch of boring lectures and did (or had an AI tool do) a bunch of boring assignments.
Future employers are going to catch on to the fact that the diploma doesn't mean much. They are going to demand that would-be employees demonstrate specific skills and aptitudes more so than just a diploma.
In other words, the easier it is for lots of students to cheat and/or get an easy diploma, the more employers will be forced to incorporate other metrics rather than degree and gpa.
My personal opinion is degrees and diplomas are a thing of the past. I don't see any value in it.
For general topics. For engineering and building things that have a strong physical connection, it might be different if it's strongly practical connected.
The idea of learning a full life is more up-to-date than ever. IMO universities and schools are pretty inefficient to spread knowledge. Special things on the cutting edge.
Most of the jobs that result from those degrees will be sooner or later replaced by AI.
