A friend of ours used AI to complete most of her coursework and has become a professor who uses AI to generate most of her coursework.
AI making work for AI to do.
Must be a recent phd grad then? GenAI has onlyreally been around for 4 years or so.

Recent, but not in a field or program that requires a PhD for faculty positions.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this sweep through the unnecessarily credentialist industries.
Repealing dumb occupational licensing requirements would probably clean this up very quickly.

I'm guessing this is in some medical or social services adjacent field then?
I was explaining to my wife that industries supported by public money will tend to be full of unnecessarily burdensome occupational licensing. It's part of the problem of how to have accountability when you're spending other peoples' money. IMO the best solution is just to have fewer industries supported by public money.

Ding ding ding, although I'd say it's less supported by public money than some (without naming the field directly), heavily distorted though.
