I was thinking that sycophancy was one thing that Asimov didn't predict in his robot stories. But in "Liar", Herbie interprets the First Law as not allowing him to say things to humans that they don't want to hear, so that's a pretty similar interpretation. Other robots are perceptive enough to interpret emotions, but apparently Herbie's ability to see the psychological damage directly made a difference.

"Those who want an education only for its “credentials”—not a new phenomenon—have never had an easier time of it, and they will head off into the world to vibe code their way through life."
Since the entire educational system is based around providing these credentials, it's no wonder that a reasonably goal-oriented student would take advantage of any tools that help provide them. They just have to be careful that their #education doesn't get in the way of their learning.

People who can think through and understand complicated problems will never be replaced.
The days of memorizing arcane syntax to get a computer to do what you want are quickly coming to an end.
