I’m very AI-forward but I don’t think these people understand what most white collar jobs are: communicating with other people about work tasks (ie emails/meetings) are a huge part of modern workplaces and will be hard to automate with AI tools.
Anthropic researchers: “Even if AI progress completely stalls today and we don’t reach AGI… the current systems are already capable of automating ALL white-collar jobs within the next 5 five years” . It’s over.

Of course naturally you then think about longer form assessments like Masters or PhD theses. At the moment it is hard to automate these through AI but this will be more of a problem in the future.

This 💯, I don't understand how university assessment was ever based on take-home assignments, which have always been open to cheating of many different forms.
My understanding is that universities complaining about AI in education don't have invigilated exams in the first place. With take home work only, there was always room for cheating if you could afford a ghost writer. The only difference now is that it's accessible to all.
