This sounds dystopian.

I went through a distance learning course and I don't see this being far from it. I mean, it's not like anyone will have to come to the brick and mortar classroom just to sit there and listen to this AI thing talk about CS, everyone will do it from their room.

So on one hand you have a lack of proper instructor and on the other hand lack of social contact. Imagine being 18 and sitting at home alone just you and this AI.

Sounds ok if you are older, but not for the amount of money Harvard is asking for it. I am not even sure what you are paying for here.

Steps to success: (1) Have lots of money. (2) Go to Harvard and have an AI "teach" you. (3) Receive a prestigious degree that indicates your class and signals that you play by the rules favorable to those already in power. (4) Receive a prestigious job that pays you even more money. (5) Have an AI do your job.

Harvard has not been about paying for access to the professors for over 100 years. It's about paying for access to fellow students.

Exactly! Like most top universities. And especially MBAs. I wish I knew it earlier and made better use of it.
