Right! I think about this constantly. Just total capitulation to mass theft of labor, as admitted by AI execs.

The 2 other issues that should make university admins hostile to AI:

1. frequency of suicides abetted by AI
2. why should anyone pay $80k/year when unis themselves tout AI for expertise?

In short, making this highly labor-intensive method work to prevent AI abuse from engulfing the educational process would require MUCH smaller class sizes...like 10-15 students tops. That would require hiring more faculty.
The whole point of AI is to reduce university reliance on costly experts.

At Dartmouth, "birthplace of AI," there have been staff layoffs and cuts to our internal research budgets while students receive free subscriptions to Claude--a product which exists due to the mass theft of work by Dartmouth faculty, including me.

This makes life miserable for faculty trying to do the right thing, bc our salaries & job prospects actually depend on another time-consuming activity--published research. Having to AI-proof your courses means working a LOT of uncompensated overtime that eats up what little research time we have.

AI can speed up some processes, and produce a mix of working and non-working code, of accurate and junk data, in the result. If humans become too reliant on chatbots, they may not have the skills and instincts to clean up after them...

Retail investors left holding the bag for reckless risks by powerful con artists? Privatization of gains with socialization of losses? Yeah, those are standard features of 21st century finance now. AI is just the latest iteration.

To recap:

* unis want to seem hip by adopting AI, but don't want the responsiblity of stopping the ravages of AI in education

* instead, they displace all the costs & labor involved onto individual faculty members...but the task can't be done at current staffing levels

* unis don't want to hire

What problem does this solve? Is this driven by donors and trustees who want their investments in AI to pay off?

But if it were about the money, you'd THINK uni admins would be hostile to AI because:

1. fear of wrongful death/negligence lawsuits due to AI-abetted suicides by students

2. undermining the business model: why pay $80k/year for expert teaching unis themselves say can be delivered by AI?
