The stories the you see in the news these days are about students who largely grew up without AI but they did have common core and smartphones / social media. AI has now been somewhat widespread for about 3 years, so it has an impact but is not the major factor. The absolute cratering of attention spans, math skills, literacy, and whatever is mostly pre AI, especially for college kids up to a year or so ago.

Given how bad common core and smart phones / social media were for the current batch of 20 year olds, I can only imagine what the undergraduate classes will look like in another 10+ years. We won't be able to parody it. It will be that ridiculous.
