Memorize. Repeat. Get the grade. Forget.

AI exposes the weakness of that model.

If a machine can complete the assignment perfectly in eight seconds, perhaps the assignment wasn't measuring something particularly valuable.

That isn't necessarily an AI crisis. It might be an education opportunity.

Great teachers frequently recognize who someone might become before that person recognizes it themselves.

One-to-one instruction has historically been expensive. AI radically changes those economics.

The person who keeps asking better questions compounds faster than any system answering them.

Knowing things remains valuable.

But knowing what to pursue, how to learn and what to do when nobody gives you the assignment becomes far more important.
