It's interesting how you've put words to something I've been noticing, especially teaching kids who'll inherit this. Your 'median tragedie' point is so spot on; it really makes you wonder if 'just good enough' is becoming an endangered species. Guess my students will need to be outliers, not just average, huh?
yes! when teaching, I now make (also did it before AI, but now it's even more important) every student go through a discussion about their work and deliverables. A quick 20 minute conversation is good enough to understand what is the level of familiarity of someone about a specific topic, especially in academic context

yep, that's a good way to put it. Education should probably steer people to discover what their "outlier" skills are
