Those students will go on to "cheat" in job interviews. And the sad thing is that many of them will never face any consequences because the majority of jobs at large companies don't require any actual competence. The college degree allows them to check a box on job applications but the jobs don't actually depend on anything learned in college.

An interesting side effect of the AI gold rush is that companies are starting to look critically at these do-nothing email jobs where someone forwards emails around and makes slides and Notion pages.

I’ve worked with many who occupied jobs that didn’t contribute much other than organizing text and sharing it around, but they got a pass because it looked helpful enough. Now it’s a lot harder to justify those positions when management realizes that having the not-really-competent person summarize communications and documents isn’t much better than having ChatGPT do it.

Almost like most degrees may not be very useful (or worth the cost) to get in the first place.
