University Zombification by AI

Elite campuses are not merely integrating AI tools; in many cases professors and students are substituting AI for the core practices of writing, teaching, and in‑class reasoning. That substitution risks producing graduates who lack the habits of thought (sequenced argument, memory, moral formation) that liberal education traditionally cultivates. — If widespread, this trend would reshape the labor market, civic competence, and legitimacy of higher education as an institution that forms citizens and experts.
