Nearly every time I attempt to tell people how much understanding fundamentals matters, it’s dismissed as being unnecessary knowledge.

I can’t make anyone want to know how things work, and it’s getting tiring being continuously told “no” when I ask.

My daughter who is studying CS (unexpectedly) actually listens most of the time. Which is surprising. But then she tells me her classmates used AI to cheat on assignments so much that the prof had to change the weighting of the assignments to be 0.

I just don't get paying to "learn", and then using AI avoid learning.

		Some fraction of "students" are not, in fact, paying to learn. They're paying for a credential that claims they learned. Degrees tied to lucrative jobs tend to have a higher proportion of these people than ones that are less directly applicable.
