I seriously hate social media sometimes. The way that some people (not here) are coming for me for this video being “wrong” or basically for me not managing to cram an entire Applied Machine Learning class into 60 seconds of a *stand up comedy* set is wiiiiiild.

Standup comedy about AI ethics has to be a new level of dystopia right?

Oh I don't think it really matters; it's just a question of whether they feel comfortable with the specific use case of the assignment.

Part of this assignment will be talking to/interviewing people who use AI.

I don't understand this question either. :) What does it mean to "write against"?

I did waffle on this a bit in large part due to concern about workload of coming up with alternative assignments etc... but I think it's important that students who are critical of AI also have an opportunity to learn about it. And the class will be small this first time so may as well try it out!
