"Their degrees are already obsolete" -> I don't understand this attitude. Do they expect to have special knowledge after a bachelor's degree? Or do they think that just asking an AI what to do is the way to create better AI and a better future for us humans? A bachelor's degree is like an extended grade 13. With a master's degree, one can start working independently, or as we jokingly say, "know where to ask and what to kook for!" College should teach us the basics of how to think critically, how to solve problems, and how to organize our work materials; it should enable us to grow and tackle more academically demanding problems, not a training for a specific job. These are skills that are extremely valuable no matter what the technological advances are. And when you see that, the cost of a college education in the U.S. and some other developed countries is just ridiculous. So I see it as a sign of frustration and disappointment rather than in a literal sense.

It is a privilege to attend college and learn there. It exists on a different plane than strictly meeting job requirements; I think it is unfortunate when people reduce it to merely that. Young people are under a lot of pressure and these statements may just be venting. That being said, it is a privilege that is getting very expensive for many people.

If the claim is that all of the knowledge can be gained online, I will counter that is the difference between popular-ABC and real-ABC for any given subject ABC. The college forces you to round out your skill set into subjects you might otherwise ignore.

gullible and opposing higher education, they've speed-run their way to becoming boomers.

It's kind of counterintuitive, but AI means you actually have to learn even more logical thinking. That doesn't mean Bachelor's degrees need more material, but that, we need to have more of logical thinking and expression. Because you need to be able to tell AI in an efficient manner what you want.
