Teaching is about moving our knowledge (the stuff we’ve collectively learned ourselves, from others and our parents [instead of everyone needing to find out on their own]) to the next generation. While some skills may become obsolete in some parts of professional life due to AI, the purpose of academia does not change much.

> the purpose of academia does not change much.

The purpose did change a lot. During Greeks time, purpose was pure knowledge or geometer skills. Industrial revolution and office work changed the purpose of the education to produce clerical staff. With AI, the purpose changes again. You need skills in using the AI and devices.
