ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

using AI-generated images of students of color in your presentations when there are literal students of color on campus is certainly a choice :)

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?

"i encourage my students to use ChatGPT for generating ideas, not writing!" ok, and when you receive a bunch of papers that have the same idea, the same rote structure, when the student has just translated a computer-generated argument into their own words, do you feel good about that?

Faculty don't just know things. They do things. This is why we should be thinking of the labor of teaching and research, not just the products and outcomes.
Faculty must make the case that their knowledge is outside of AI, that a professor knows something AI does not yet know. Otherwise why bother?
