Exactly. When it comes to cancer and medication and physics and geology and climate science, AI is just about essential. And if that’s all it was used for, we’d all be in a much different place. But no, the capital class wants nothing more than to have a 0 in the labor column of their expenses.

Whatever my uni declares, I am not going to engage with AI. I am not going to use AI or teach students to use it. I am going to continue to explain to students why it is harmful. Absolutely absurd to allow this anti-intellectual, environmentally devastating technology into the university at all.
