I'm not even sure libraryfolk who are in the "responsible use education" camp had to be led there by corporate incentives. (Though admittedly there is -definitely- not any unified perspective across our work.)
"It also offers a concrete example of how AI adoptionist perspectives that emphasize 'responsible' AI use are at times advanced by educational organizations as a result of financial incentives, and not because these products are actually better for student learning."

Colleague recently asked: how do we get AI skeptic librarians on board, since it's here & our values can mitigate?
I recall similar Qs about voracious expansion of data collection about our users; never saw any indication that libraryfolk presence mitigated anything.
Refusal is good, actually.

Libraryfolk do the lord's work. I didn't even know this was going on, but it would have seriously affected my reading. I mess w a lot of fringe horror stuff and I rely on ILL to keep me in grim bleakness.
