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.

      That’s why it said “professional” environment, not professional environment.

      Other than meeting with a client or such, I don’t see any reason to keep my mouth shut. Just keep the amount of swearing appropriate.
