AI isn’t eliminating some boring, mechanical part of learning. It’s replacing the very core.
University education as we know it is over

WordPress, TV Series, music, kids, and board games. I think that’s probably the best way to define me in a few words. 🙂
I work at Automattic where I lead a team building tools for bloggers and creators. I talk a lot about WordPress things, but also about all things open source in general.
I post in English and in French.
I live in Brittany, France, so you’ll also find me sharing pictures from our beautiful region from time to time.

When I was 12, before the millennium I was already making the argument, "no, seriously, I'll always have a calculator. Arithmetic is the computer's job."
Now I'm a published statistician, advancing the field.
Even then the best retort was something about the zombie apocalypse.
I'd often quip. 'then we should learn basket weaving'
If all the rote answers are on LLMs, we need to be teaching skills that aren't.
It's that easy.
No one will pay you for those answers anymore.
Just capitalism.

P.s. there's still a WORLD of learning and education to be had. LLMs are supportive of the coarse portion of that. But already the offline models are small enough to run on my phone, and passable quality.
Even the third world has these capabilities now. Best to just move forward
