> The struggle between administrators and the professoriate over control of the classroom will continue regardless of whatever new technology Silicon Valley creates. Therefore, ceding whatever prerogatives you have over your pedagogy and completely changing your teaching style because one technology has yet again “changed everything” is a terrible idea. AI is just one of a continuing series of technological nuisances that may merit some adjustments in teaching practices, but we can’t let it become a reason for higher education to drastically lower its standards. AI slop might find an audience on Facebook and Instagram, but students should never have to pay tuition to learn how to create it in a college classroom.
