Fantastic analysis covering so many prongs of the situation. Automation & deskilling are always about labor-cost saving, esp. in service work, which is what education is. (I think all the time comparatively of telephone operators, some of the 1st service workers. Automated out of existence.)

Many faculty have been sounding the alarm about the problems generative AI poses for student learning. Strangely, some higher ed administrations seem have emerged as major AI boosters. Why? As I write in the latest @hedgehogreview.bsky.social it's a labor story: hedgehogreview.com/issues/the-f...

“If you, as an administrator or professor, care little about whether the education you offer is a quality product, and if you have little faith in the transformative power of that education, then these kinds of changes are going to be acceptable to you.” Required reading, to be shared widely

brilliant analysis of our moment in higher ed and the threat of we face of “… a totally bifurcated educational system, in which the vast majority of students pretend to learn while a computer pretends to teach them while an anointed few command the endless ministrations of attentive pedagogues..”

“we need to fight to reverse deskilling by empowering the academic proletariat to again make meaningful decisions—about their own work, if not about all institutional spending—thus returning the ‘brain’ of educational work to the classroom from the central office.”

🎯 “An elite consensus that AI-assisted learning might be fine for hoi polloi but not for future leaders at the most selective institutions cannot be far-off now“ The coming class divide on AI: tech-free learning at elite institutions, AI-centered learning everywhere else.

"When our conversations about AI in college remain tethered to the idea that students might use it to cheat, we miss the larger context in which executives view AI, first and foremost, as a labor-saving (and labor-disciplining) device."
