Interesting scenario build out. The relevance of signaling and the use of credentials to demonstrate meta qualities (as opposed to using the knowledge gained) seems archaic too.
Credentials in a technical field (eg say forensics) can be directly relevant to the job. Not so much in other cases. Perhaps, AI could also help save time and money by figuring out a better way for employers to assess skills.
One problem for universities is that the credibility of their credentialisation has decreased over time (grade inflation, organised cheating). A standardised examination could be a very compelling alternative in some fields.
Incidental to your thesis, it seems to me that this would open an opportunity for colleges that would otherwise be shuttered to change their business models to that of providing the college experience. This would mean dorms and recreation and clubs. The classrooms would be repurposed or closed. The education would all be Grok.
Consider a public university. This would allow some of the infrastructure investment to be recouped. Taxpayers would like that.
