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.
My sister just went back to school to get her engineering degree and they make them all sign up for a program called handshake? It tries pretty desperately to schill work from home jobs training AI. And they literally all read like scams.
Can’t wait to get paid for several months deliberately sabotaging AI until someone realizes what I’m up to
Every US college/community college shills handshake. Mine forced me to burn a vacation day to sit in their orientation and they tried to sell handshake as some unique perk as if I hadn’t seen it at every other school I’d attended. I was furious.
