He describes mostly a process where the exam itself, or rather testing the knowledge of a student, is not so important.

I think not all exams can occur like that. In some cases you just have to test one's knowledge about a specific topic, and knowing facts is a very, very easy way to test this. I would agree that just focusing on facts these days is overrated, but I would still reason that it is not a useless metric still. So, when the author describes "bring your own exam questions", it more means that the exam itself is not so relevant, which is fine - but saying that university exams are now useless in the age of autosolving chatbots, is simply wrong. It just means that the exam itself is not important; that in itself does not automatically mean that ALL exams or exam styles are useless. Also, it depends on what you test. For instance, testing solving math questions - yes, chatbots can solve this, but can a student solve the same without needing a chatbot? How about practical skills? Ok, 3D printing will dominate, but the ability to craft something with your own hands, that is still a skill that may be useful, at the least to some extent.

I feel that the whole discussion about chatbots dumbs down a lot. Skills have not become irrelevant just because chatbots exist.
