College is no longer difficult

For context, I'm currently a senior in college, and yesterday, I went to get lunch with one of my underclassman friends. We were talking, and he told me he was taking two classes - a systems class known for having notoriously hard coding assignments and an algorithms class with impossibly difficult problem sets. It turned out that I'd taken those same classes two years ago.

Excitedly, I started telling him the classic advice of paying attention in lecture, making sure you read the book in advance, etc. I also told him make sure you start the homework early and go to the TA office hours otherwise it's impossible to solve. But then something clicked in brain....

With ChatGPT and AI tools like Cursor, every problem can be grokked. No coding problem is impossible. The concept of take-home midterms and 3-4 hour long PSETs - all that's gone. I still remember the stress of starting an assignment the night before, and it being LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to do it because if you can't figure something out, you're fucked basically, but with AI, no obstacle exists.

This idea just sent chills down my spine. Thoughts?
