As someone with a liberal arts education that article seemed to be AI generated.

As someone with a liberal arts education I think the most useful skill I was taught was how to research stuff before the interwebs took over the world. Sure, I did some research using the internet but there simply wasn't the vast amount of knowledge contained there so I had to do stuff like inter-library loans. Now, if I really wanted to, I could just have the robots write an essay on the benefits of a liberal arts education.


To the extent that the purpose of a liberal arts bachelor's education is to develop more tolerance, it will get you from a starting value of 1/10 up to 3/10. A combined technical liberal arts bachelor's degree may get you to 4/10. A technical master's degree to 6/10. A PhD to 8/10. The rest is up to your curious use of AI. Without tolerance in entertaining differing opinions and theories, the world can be a dark place.
