It can help with homework, writing skills, and provide feedback. Some claim it is just another learning tool and should be viewed as an additional resource for students. Others believe it is just another way to cheat the system, albeit through AI.

But which ones? Whenever someone says they think fewer people should go to college, my first question is “Which people?” In theory, I am open to the idea that too many people are going to college, and by “college” I mean four-year degree programs. On the flip side, I think just about everyone would benefit from some form of postsecondary education or training that befits their interests and skills, and is, ideally, heavily subsidized (even to the point of being free) via the public coffers.
