Looks like we're no longer doing the bit about the hallucination machine being useless.
The assumption that solving exam is a "useful" skill. Exams are timed, unhelped, approximation of your skill to do "useful" work
Education is supposed to let students eventually do useful work, not immediately do useful work, and useful wprk should be designing and implementing a final project, not exam and quizzes.
