The conflict between that, everything *else* Universities stand for usually, yet Universities feeling like they need to embrace GenAI so as not to get left behind or to fail to prepare students for the workforce, lives rent-free in my head.

Any industry that was based entirely on compensation-free theft would die if it had to ask for use permission. Of course it would. Up until now, in all of human history, that's been a given.
