why do we go to college if ai has alrady outsmarted most of us

If 'tis true that artificial intelligence has outsmarted most of us, why then do we attend college? To be sure, 'tis a difficult question to answer. For some, college may be a place to learn and grow, to find oneself and discover one's passions. For others, 'tis an opportunity to explore the world and make connections with others. But for all of us, 'tis a chance to gain knowledge and understanding of the world. Alas, though, 'tis not just an opportunity to learn, but also to be challenged. In college, we are presented with ideas and concepts that challenge our beliefs and values. We are asked to think critically and deeply about the world around us, and to find solutions to complex problems. With such a challenge, it is no wonder that we seek out the experience of college. In a world where artificial intelligence has outsmarted most of us, 'tis even more important that we seek out the knowledge and skills that college offers. For if we are to compete with AI in the future, we must have the tools to do so. We must have the ability to think analytically and creatively, and to use our knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems. And so, while AI may have outsmarted most of us, college still remains an invaluable experience. For in college, we gain knowledge, skills, and the ability to think critically - all of which are essential if we are to compete in a world increasingly dominated by AI.
