Given how crazy AI has gotten, is school or education still necessary?
Like, seriously—you can even build a website with some prompts. Stuff we used to spend weeks learning, AI can do in seconds.
So, what’s the point of going through years of school when you can just ask a machine for the answer?
And yeah, it’s tempting to feel like studying is kind of pointless now. Like why sit through boring lectures or cram for tests when you’ve got this super-smart assistant in your pocket?
But here’s the weird thing. The people I see actually doing things—building stuff, running projects, sticking through challenges—they’ve got something else. Not just knowledge, but this weird strength. They can focus. They can finish. They don’t quit the second things get hard.
And maybe that’s what school was really for.
Not to fill your brain with facts. But to build those muscles you don’t see—patience, grit, attention, problem-solving.
AI can do a lot. It can think. But it can’t care. It won’t push through a rough day for you. It won’t keep going when you’re tired or scared or stuck. That’s still on you.
So yeah, I don’t know if school will stay the same. Probably not. But I think the process still matters. Showing up, learning how to struggle, learning how to learn. Maybe that’s more important now—not less.
Just some thoughts. Still figuring it out.
