Maybe "take-home exam" is not the proper name. During school, I had "homework". During university I had "projects". Definitely quite a few projects over the course of a semester.
And about cheating with AI. After you get hired, you're expected to use AI and only AI and if you don't tokenmax your AI consumption you're scolded and threatened and eventually fired. Whole fucking industry is about forbidding to use your brain anymore.
The fact that universities still insist on independent human thought just shows how hopelessly out of sync they are, stuck in the past and not able to produce the new generation of brainwashed idiots that the corporations expect.
I can't disagree with most of what you are saying, not from experience but because it is a logical conclusion of at least what I am seeing.
I am a pilot and even as as car-driver, I notice how I totally lose my sense of awareness of where I am and how to deal with unexpected re-routing, when I am using GPS. Why is this relevant?
There was a time I had no GPS. I'd look at a map, memorize, and have total situational awareness, and with that, I could drive anywhere, more or less, regardless of what unexpected things happened (construction, accidents, etc).
As a pilot, I don't use GPS because it is way too dangerous to not know where you are. You need to be able to react to unexpected situations quickly.
We already have people who are incapable of independent thought, pre-AI. Now? With this? It is going to get much worse.

These people will be voting. That's scary.
