Well obviously. AI is a bubble, which is mostly vaporware. The point was always to sell it, and what better place than a school? The administration will force it on the teachers and students, and that's that.
The technology itself is simply irrelevant. All you need to know is that it's a bubble and the purchasers don't care what the users think, and then failure is guaranteed.
Yeah they went all in on what was at best a fancy tech demo. But it's also kinda typical of this late stage capitalism where everything is sold on its best qualities in a way where the sellers can avoid questions or feedback about the average or worst case quality, which is absolute shit. Should be no surprise really in this world of minimum bidders who know there's no real consequence for going over budget because it was never possible in the first place, as long as you limit the budget increases such that sunken cost fallacy kicks in. LLMs are just the pinnacle (so far) of that.
Even the AI-based AI detectors are bullshit.
