That’s not what it’s about. It’s actually from someone who genuinely wants to learn for the sake of learning who’s talking about how AI is creating havoc in her studies.
The real villain in this story is the teaching staff. They need to get their act together and stop using generative AI for courseloads.
In other words, they need to do their job. The parts about AI mandates changing every 3 months reeks of an overly bureaucratic, admin-heavy structure where the students’ learning is a lower priority being performative about AI for your boss.
People have to do their jobs. Having AI generate slop and then sending it off to students or coworkers is not acceptable. It's not the students' problem to deal with things that may or may not be going on in the administration.
They're paying a lot of money to get an education and the university, as a whole, needs to do their job.
Saying that the teaching staff is under pressure excuses nothing. Students are paying for an education and it needs to be delivered at acceptable quality.
AI can teach you, you just have to put the effort in to tell it to teach you. In some contexts, I might want it to fire off a utility bash script and I have no interest in learning bash so I just run it and don't worry too much about the implementation. But if I'm getting it to help me write Java code for work, I review the output and ask it about parts that I don't understand. And it teaches me way better than the old way of reading dry/bad documentation.
It's what you make of it.
