This is pretty funny. OpenAI's Operator fills and submits online forms automatically. So people are "urging universities to be ready for a rise in applications if prospective students are able to complete and submit a high volume of university applications at speed." I mean - the whole system of application for admission is cumbersome and archaic. There doesn't have to be such scarcity of placement, except that universities have no real desire to make their service more efficient and effective. It's like they think they're selling Birkin bags and not an essential service people need to prosper in life.
