I’m just exhausted with all of this. I don’t want to have to spend time thinking about whether I’ve granted an irrevocable license for someone to take all of my course materials and do whatever they want with them, especially given there’s basically no way around using canvas.

If genAI was truly unstoppable, there'd be no point in saying it. Inescapable things don't need this much constant cheerleading.
"It's inevitable!"
Okay. So you can shut up about it and the end result will be exactly the same, so you might as well just stop annoying everyone.

This is where their "AI" stems from, btw. This is their attempt to turn the act of creation into an automated assembly line that punishes a person who does something they can't. They have two goals: to be liked, to be creative. Failing that, they made a blow-up doll to tell them they're good enough.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Please fucking start fighting! No Preston Brooks level nonsense but some passionate, sometimes I’ll-chosen words could save the republic.
Apparently unpopular opinion:
More Democrats should yell at Republican Senators on the Senate floor. It should be a daily occurrence. These Republican Senators are bad people with bad values.
