There was a bit of this sort of thing in the Lord Mayor's procession in London the other day, all the still-extant guilds etc. were there. I only caught a bit of it but there was a giant inflatable joint of lamb.

Absolutely true. Still no excuse for using ‘AI’ to generate course materials. There can be no excuse. And frankly excusing it would be an insult to all those academics going through hell but not resorting to that.

I don’t think even that is an excuse tbh. Plenty of lecturers are absolutely drowning right now, really suffering, but would never dream of anything like this
