We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

“We are told that AI is inevitable, that we must adapt or be left behind. But universities are not tech companies. Our role is to foster critical thinking, not to follow industry trends uncritically.”
‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...

Tomorrow at #uniinnsbruck!
Great programme, with speakers from Ghent, Brussels, Oslo, Dublin, Mannheim and Innsbruck who reflect on memory and translation in literature on the Holocaust, the Algerian War of Independence, the Chilean dictatorship, the Bosnian War and on the translator as a guardian of memory.

Teachers are generally not assigning homework because they care about an 8th grader's thoughts on the Pelopenisian war. They want you to think about the material. Using AI to write your homework is like calling an uber in a bike riding class: You get from point a to b but missed the point entirely.
