> AI poses greater threat to college grads than people without degrees

Is it me or the title structured as it is implies that "people without degrees" are a lesser threat to college grads than AI is? That AI and people without degrees are a threat, and AI is the greater one. I'm not a native speaker but I would have put "AI poses greater threat to college grads than to people without degrees", but it also sounds weird.

Incidentally I wonder if current AI are capable of inferring the actual meaning of the sentence. (AI threatens college grads more than it threatens people without degrees).

I think after my generation, the value of a college degree is going to drop like a rock. Most people I've talked to who do hiring haven't been impressed with the knowledge of people coming out of bachelors programs.
Why should the trend reverse rather than reaching a stable equilibrium?
