"While we're busy worrying about AI detection," writes Carlo Iacono, "we're forgetting what education is actually for." That's fair enough, but I'm not sure there exactly widespread agreement on this. Iacono writes, "Education at its best has always been about transformation." Things like "learning how to learn", "frameworks for ethical decision-making", "understanding oneself," and so on. But do the people looking for graduates to fill jobs really think this? Do students simply seeking a better life believe this?
