I recently graduated from university, and I share some of these views. I became particularly frustrated by the school's practice of lowering the level of courses to allow more students to pass.

Before I started, a teacher was fired for failing too many students, so there is definitely a trend toward reducing the quality. But I got through my master of science just as the AI chatbots rose to the mainstream, already frustrated that the courses could have easily included 30% more material.

I don't even want to imagine how bad things get when people currently in middle school or high school reach university after having had access to "word salad machines" their whole schooling.
