More to say about this soon (hopefully in essay form!) but if you think AI writing is labor-saving, or polished, or a useful metric of intellectual or aesthetic judgment, you are a fucking idiot and you should give your job to one of the thousands of adjuncts who knows better

not only have universities failed to make a persuasive case against AI, some of them (like my employer) are actively peddling proprietary MLMs to their students đ
