Newsflash. Most graduate research is worth nothing. If this helps graduate students to re-evaluate and start doing things that can generate income while being intellectually stimulating, it's a net win for the person and the economy
Academia has it's own sets of big problems. Before this AI boom also, most people graduating never stayed in academia. The way graduate schools are structured, I would be happy if few people joined. That would also mean we lose good researchers in a long run.
