    The sales pitch is:

    All your competition is going AI. They’re be producing 10x the work with mouth breathing morons at the keys, while you’re stuck paying millions to subject matter experts.

    They’re scared ot death that the tenuous hold they have on their market segment will be severed if their competition outflanks them in this, so FUD wins.

      This isn’t Justin industry or tech. I work in the academy. You would be shocked how many people from administrators all the way on down truly believe this. That, without any proof, this technology is going to make everybody a billion times more productive and that any graduates who don’t have this is a foundational skill will surely not survive in the future workforce.

        students using AI to write thier papers, LORs, or projects, and professors using it to screen out AI themselves, or using it to make lectures. this is for university level, and then you have students unable to write a paper themselves, and teacher even more removed from teaching a class.

          That is a fine hypothesis, but that has nothing to do with how I run my classes. Or anyone in my department for that matter.
