Students may end up being the only real bulwark against what is happening.
But, I know that not all students have the same power — the same exit threat. Student resistance will fall along institutional lines of privilege. Could hasten the marketization of non-elite schools.
The elites win.

A student told me Thursday that another prof had told the class to post their work into an AI LLM, to be graded and commented on by the AI. The other students were all offended. Which is good. They should be offended.

We have allowed the lazy, grifting Silicon Valley charlatans into the front door, & in doing so, we have learned just how many of our own colleagues & administrators simply are not interested in the actual business of education. It's incredibly demoralizing.

Thanks so much for your reporting on this, Ben. I just got an email from my campus's IT office triumphantly advertising free student access to four different AI models -- at the same time as we have a hiring freeze, caps on grad enrollment, and a 7% budget cut -- and wanted to scream.

Ever-wise Clay Shirkyon educational adaptations to AI. His critical point: Education's present methods are not from forever. We can adapt. I also wish for more positive pedagogical discussion about how to exploit AI in learning.
