It may get resolved on its own. These days people study to get good grades in order to prove to future gatekeepers (like employers, or higher rungs of academia) that they know the material well. Post AGI, however, the gatekeepers may not be so interested in humans anymore, and we might not need grades at all. Studying anything could become something done exclusively for ones own interest, and the only point of a grade would be to give one-self a goal to achieve.

Alternatively, if we still want to cling on to this ritual of measuring the performance of students, you could give each and every one of them oral examinations with AI professors.

We are not post AGI. We still need to hire people who did not cheat their way through school and interviews with chatGPT. Even post AGI, we would want to hire qualified people.

Boom, this.

Institutions that prepare people for future jobs have an even harder time to justify what they’re doing than the people who are looking for jobs right now. It’s just inertia at this point.

Not to mention that AI can educate the people better by solving Bloom’s Two Sigma Problem.

So colleges are obsolete except as four year cruises for entertainment and networking.

Ah yes, the AGI that will happen any day now but we can’t even define. Please buy the stock.
