well, not sure if it works the same everywhere in the world, but here, you first write the graduation thesis and then you have to publicly defend it.
if the defense committee (or is it an attack committee, since it is the student who is on defense? :D) can’t ask questions in a way to find out whether the student actually wrote the paper and understands the topic, then what fucking pseudo-scientific field is that? (and the answer indeed is - it is economics 😂)
Then the student could just ask the AI to simulate a thesis defense and learn answers to the most likely questions.
The funny thing is, they would actually learn the material this way, through a kind of osmosis. I remember writing cheat sheets in college and finding I didn’t need it by the end.
So there are potential use cases, but not if the university doesn’t acknowledge it and continues asking for work that can be simply automated.

while my opinion of economy as a field is not very high, i still have high enough opinion of any teacher to believe they do outperform shitty ai…
