If your admin says "but we need to prepare students for AI-driven careers," you can calmly say no. Reiterate that AI-integration is the result of wild capitalist greed, the technologies themselves aren't "generative" or useful in most careers, and students should focus on process-based learning.

I hate the trope in stories where someone is a bad dad and husband but he does ONE heroic thing and is a big hero and everything is fine.
Like there probably won't be a big moment where you fight a dragon or a terrorist.
Go to your kids recital and learn their allergy list.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

Seriously though, the only reason people even want to publish AI slop in peer-reviewed literature is that academic excellence so often is determined merely by counting publications. That's bad practice! If we weighted publications by quality, AI slop would quite properly be a demerit.
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Also, Nuremberg references are a great way to remind people that in the 1940s SCOTUS justices thought their job was to PROSECUTE war crimes, not enable them.
The Roberts Court will clearly be remembered as one of, if not the, worst SCOTUS in US history. Remind them TODAY of how pathetic they are.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.
