The professor said that when considering the implications of ChatGPT, it is important to consider not only the efficiency of the technology but also the impact it will have on human employment and education. While the technology is still in its early stages, it is possible that it could soon become an integral part of the modern workplace.
If this is the case, it is likely that the value of MBA programs, as well as other educational programs, will decrease.
