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.
This was inevitable when all academic institutions were taken over by MBA sociopaths who have no concept of how anything works beyond “line goes up”.
Endowments drive me insane. They don’t get used to do anything. Just giant dragon hoards.
My alma mater could probably give half a million people free tuition by using its endowment, and they have the gall to beg me for donations and I’m still paying off my loans.
Your alma matter sounds like mine. Their endowment funds are billions of dollars large, but they still have the gall to be “all in” on collecting more. All while their staff are forever striking and churning managers because they pay absolute shit and they do all the gross things to their people that billion dollar corporations do. I’m disgusted I went there sometimes. That I bought into the bullshit for a little bit. Still have never donated a cent though, and never will.
