Academic argues AI plainly obviates a CS college education: no better professor exists
generativist · x · 2026-09-03
Researcher generativist argues that for fields like computer science, AI has "plainly obviated a college education" — not because "CS is dead," but because "you're not going to find a better professor."
Pushing back on the "but it's often wrong" objection, he notes AI errs far less than people assume, and recalls how unpleasant it was to argue with undergraduate professors (or adjuncts). His point: extrapolate from this what AI means for higher education at large.
