ChatGPT passed a full college engineering course with a B grade (82.24%), coming close to the class average of 84.99%, by simply being fed questions, no tutoring, prompting tricks, or human refinement involved.

Researchers argue it’s time to rethink education, suggesting that assignments should focus less on pattern-based problem-solving and more on real-world judgment and conceptual reasoning, areas where humans still outperform AI.
