I’ve now had 3-4 exchanges with business profs who seem baffled that humanities profs are resisting their assertions that AI can teach our courses and AI can replicate our work.
They all seemed quite shocked that “you don’t matter and this machine will replace you” isn’t a winning sales pitch.

My coeditors & I are being encouraged to agree to this. My gut reaction is No—am I helping train our nonhuman replacements?—but I'm no AI expert & want to consider arguments in favor.

Went to a party for a colleague’s retirement. He’s been here 42 years. There were stories, old pictures. Lots of current and retired profs, new and old students, friends and family.
It was really moving—and a little distressing—to see a whole life summed up like that.
