> what you're asking is the impact of undoing this

I was being sarcastic. But this could become a serious question: in the (near) future, if academic skills no longer matter for the vast majority of jobs, then the State's responsibility to fund public education will be called into question -- maybe it would stop at 14 when kids can read/write and do basic math. If you want more, do it on your own dime.

I hope not, but we already have the Trump WH trying to chip away at public education - and that's without AI in the picture.
