> Too many people in this community earnestly think this way
The guidelines ask us not to comment like this:
Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
It's a low-quality comment because it's an easy claim to make, and it will seem "truthy" to many, so you'll get upvotes and approving replies. But it's also worthless, as, without the inclusion of example comments, there's no evidence for it, and unless someone did an analysis of all comments, it can't really be disproven (i.e., it's unfalsifiable).
As someone who reads the comments for hours each day, I don't see that “many people in this community earnestly think this way”. I see that many people see real/potential benefits of A.I., whilst also acknowledging its limitations. A.I. zealots (or anythign zealots) have never really been at home on HN.
I only mentioned degrees. Just because someone passed a class years ago, that doesn't mean they remember everything or are able to put that knowledge into practice.
Scaling licensing is much easier than scaling education via universities which means that price can be made cheap to avoid needing big loans.
