Dettmers: Students using AI agents perform poorly on basic domain knowledge
“If we let people use agents, they perform very poorly on basic knowledge. And if we let people just do the basic knowledge, they don't know how to use agents and they can't compete. So they can't do useful work in the workforce nowadays.”

Insight
Dettmers: Coding agents serve as general-purpose AI agents for digital tasks
“Coding agents are general agents. Coding agents can write programs that solve other problems, and code is so general, if there's a digital problem, you could solve it for code, and coding agents make the thing so easy that now you can solve a variety of proble…”
