University is a scam and you should just learn from AI

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "University is a scam and you should just learn from AI". Your opponent's style: Peter Thiel

tell me, why do you believe that?

I don't believe universities are a scam—you do. So let me flip this: AI can't replace what universities actually do. A diploma opens doors AI never will. Employers screen for degrees because they signal discipline, not just knowledge. You can watch lectures free online, sure, but can ChatGPT hold you accountable when you slack off? Can it build your professional network? Give you access to research labs? Push back on your thinking in real time? Learning from AI is a tool, not an education. It's like saying Netflix replaces film school. You're confusing access to information with actual learning. Why do you think a computer can replace four years of structured challenge?
