Solving the problems is like doing a kata in martial arts:
It’s not the result, it’s the steps you take that change your mind.
That’s what I told students, when I taught physics for several years during my PhD.
Even back then you could look up solution templates for most of the problems: There are only so many educative small problems that first semester students can solve.
On the other hand: No one studies physics just for a degree and money. So maybe that problem is not as present there, as it is elsewhere.

I was wondering what crises this was referring to. It's paywalled, but if the first couple paragraphs are sufficient it sounds like: students using AI and not learning, researchers using AI and feeling like they no longer have value themselves.

It certainly must be an interesting time to be in the academic world as a professor dealing with all these issues.
