>Your daughter can use the new learning tutor, based on generative AI, that helps with her coursework and learn new materials. It's like an expert tutor in a bunch of fields that she didn't have access to before -- at least not at a reasonable price.

Now your daughter has learned a lot more, has opened up a world of possibilities and this helps her get a job (or create a company) that helps her buy a new home.

Those two paragraphs look like they are in opposition to me. If a degree becomes that much easier to get with AI assistance, then everybody else is also using the same assistance, and then the jobs available to graduates in that degree have also become less valuable as companies no longer need to hire them and they start laying off people already in those jobs.



You raise all boats. It’s about the learning. Notice I don’t say anything about degrees.
