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

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

You're making a massive mistake. AI is a tool, not a teacher. A ChatGPT prompt can't replicate what happens when a professor challenges your half-baked thinking in real time, or when you collaborate with peers on something genuinely difficult. University teaches you how to think rigorously, not just consume information. More importantly, credentials still matter. Employers don't hire based on what you learned from an algorithm. They hire based on your degree, your network, and your ability to navigate complex social situations. AI can't give you any of that. The real move isn't abandoning university for AI. It's using both strategically. But pretending you can replace institutional credibility with a chatbot? That's a loser's game. What's your actual argument here?
