> Perhaps we're going to have to accept that and aggressively ration higher education by the limited amount of time available for human-to-human evaluations.

This will be it. [edit: for all education I mean, not just college] Computers are going to become a bigger part of education for the masses, for cost reasons, and elite education will continue to be performed pretty much entirely by humans.

We better hope computer learning systems get a lot better than they’ve been so far, because that’s the future for the masses in the expensive-labor developed world. Certainly in the US, anyway. Otherwise the gap in education quality between the haves and have nots is about to get even worse.

Public schools are already well on the way down that path, over the last few years, spurred by Covid and an increasingly-bad teacher shortage.
