A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Not all of us professors are that... uh... smitten? In fact, as far as I'm aware most faculty I know hate AI as much as everyone else if not more so-- our job is to get you to think about a subject, AI inherently adds doubt that your thoughts are your own. And that's just plagiarism. It's been a nightmare trying to adjust assignments, implement more oral presentations, and make clear the do's or dont's.
We don't usually use the copyright infringement argument (educators "borrow" content all the time, so much so that there's usually a carve out for education reasons) and we generally don't fall on the environmental impact (you know how many professors still print out everything? It's a lot). But undermining your education by using a flawed thinky machine? Your professor's doing you an injustice.
I know it depends on the location. My bachelor's is from a VERY crunchy university and I already know they hate it (and are definitely talking about both the environmental impact and plagerism) without even asking, and I really miss that crunchyness now ๐ข
