And here’s what I’m trying to get at: when the bubble bursts, many “AI” “applications” will disappear, but #genAI is here to stay in academia. Companies will discover students and academics as a market and, when the free offers go away, inevitably crank up the prices. But as students have already become dependent on #genAI, they will be desperate enough to pay high prices to keep them for graduate studies. The same goes for those researchers who experienced a “productivity” boost. ⇢
