I feel that the crux of this is that we have created fetch quests that signify experience and now we're automating those quests to reap the reward of the signified experience. Sadly, the damage of creating the poor signifier is done and was often done long before we were born. The students don't often recognize that the point of the exams and papers are to measure what they leaned to ensure they know what the school is to be teaching them. Instead, they think the papers tests and scores are the point.

Alternatively, the smartphone selfie couple isn't using dall-e to produce their new years selfie so they can enjoy their time together they just keep taking selfies because that is what "experiencing things" is to them now. Give it time. They will eventually. Then they can take selfies somewhere else at the same time.

These social expectations are the fundamental problem, not AI. They provide a problem for AI to solve at scale that can generate the revenue required for the development of AI. So it feels that the logical outcome of the article goes back to the original tweet. The issue isn't that students aren't getting the point of learning but that "Big Tech" is immorally targeting this social system like a drug dealer on the playground to market their technology. Not sure if I should congratulate them or despise them.
