The email is ominously titled "Final Reminder : The Importance of AI" and flagged "High Importance" when it's just an ad.
Rest of it goes on about how they got a wallstreet bro to come give a speech about "AI replacing 40% of the jobs."
Idk why a university likes AI this much either. They even overlook cheating as long as it involves AI.
Both students and graders tell each other they use it openly.
At first it felt weird I am complaining about free accounts and free speeches from investors but then it kinda clicked these are NOT free either. My tuition is paying for all of this.
Even the bus pass has a 5-day sign up process to "save money from students not using that service."
But somehow they just arbitrarily gave everyone multiple premium chatbot accounts anyways.
Am I just paying a 50% ransom to microsoft for my degree at this point?
Also the email is AI generated too. ITS FROM THE FUCKING DEAN.
Use it against them. Remember the distortion can work with you, as well as against you.
My work was doing the whole "AI AI AI, use AI" blah blah blah thing. I used it at my annual review, where I showed I should have both an executive title and my salary should be about $200k higher. I also told my team and my fellow coworkers to do the same.
It's funny how we haven't heard boo from the executive about AI for about 3 or 4 months now.
This goes both ways, right? Malicious compliance and all of that.
