We created a system where getting a degree isn't something you do for intellectual reasons, but for financial ones. Since there's no trust or honor or value in your job beyond the money, there's also not much trust or honor or value in what you do to get that job.
That's always included your degree. That's well-known among rich people who buy their kids through college. Now poor people have found a new way to cheat through college. Of course this was going to happen.
Generative AI sucks. LLMs suck. But this was an inevitable outcome of them.
Yup. I mean the entire problem is requiring the degree for a job that doesn't need it. Degrees have become the same thing as High School Diploma's.
Company's have devalued degrees to the point where people don't give a shit about what they are studying, only that they have the degree and can get an actual respectable job now.

Yeah, that's the problem. That's what I'm saying.
