"In the end, generative AI might be a blip in tech history, over-promising and under-delivering until finally the cash runs out. But it seems it’s arrived just in time to shove universities over a cliff edge they’d already walked themselves up to."

Freedom of speech is great hey?
Indiana University has fired the staff director of the student newspaper, after disputes in which university leadership tried to pressure him to prevent students from publishing news.

For those who support the use of AI detectors, by all means feel free to attempt a response. But please don't say "I care about my students" or I care about academic integrity" because neither of those things can be true if you believe in the efficacy of detectors.

The people who *make this tech* can't get it to work in a simple demo, and their magical thinking about it has convinced them that they didn't need to do the most basic level of preparation for their demonstration. So it is, in fact, an excellent demonstration of what genAI will do for society.

I keep asking myself, if convenors are throwing in AI, as in "teaching students how to use it", what are they throwing out of their courses, and why?

Opinion: “As the scope of work expands and the stress of compliance rises, burnout is common. Many universities report high staff turnover, loss of corporate knowledge and underinvestment in training.”
