AI corruption everywhere.
My institution's educational research group invites us to attend a presentation by a commercial software company who wish to sell us their AI product. The invitation actively promotes the product, with no further qualitfications or provisos.
The product: a tool that lets students query our learning materials, so that they don't have to read them. Also, a sister product that does the same for academic readers of research papers.
Tools that are explicitly meant to help students and scholars to avoid ... having to read academic works!
And these commercial products are actively promoted by a research and pedagogy branch of my university.
These developments are not new, of course, they have been gathering pace all through the past three years. But each such announcement still manages to shock me.
Intellectual and moral corruption and corrosion, everywhere I look.

Departmental meeting on updating the curriculum. The Head of School speaks.
"Students all do shoplifting now. It's become an integral part of modern life. We will fail our students if we don't teach them how to shoplift well, and how to do it responsibly."
"Colleagues, we ask each of you to draw up plans on how you will integrate responsible shoplifting in your courses. Please submit your proposals to the Education Committee by the end of the month."
"To help you engage with these exciting new developments, we offer a series of hands-on workshops. The first of these will take place at the local Walmart at University Square. Yes, Professor Quintock, the workshops are mandatory."

Hi Mastodon, I'm excited to join this community! Professionally, I'm interested in #highereducation and #teaching and #learning. Personally, I am interested in #scifi and #comics. I look forward to connecting! (and if you have any good Mastodon tips, let me know! I'm figuring this out!).

I talked to @404mediaco about generative AI's impact on teaching. Apparently I wasn't alone... not by a long shot. @jasonkoebler got a ton of responses about this topic and ran many of them here:

While it's distressing to read all of them, it's good to see I'm not alone.
