As someone who is writing a university course that is allowing the use of AI, I think that the value of an in-person education is underestimated. I reckon that a solid chunk of what you are taught in a good university environment is soft in some sense, and that technical knowledge is less valuable than it was as compared to technical ability. The knowledge problem is what MOOCs (and any open resources) solve. I am not sure that technical ability is fostered by MOOCs as much as it is merely enabled by them.
