So I'm at a #university that claims that #AI must be integrated into *everything*.
It is literally mandatory.
Yet, the AI plans that they give us access to are toys. We just got access to Google's #NotebookLM and #Gemini but the level of access is the same as for non-paying users.
Which means you can ask it questions like some ancient Greek oracle, but can't use it for serious work or evaluate its quality.
So we've decided to train #dependence in our #students. smh
Perhaps more strangely, it seems like the #university has emphasized getting students and staff access to many "free trial" levels of AI instead of just focusing on getting more reasonable access to just one provider.
Again it makes little to no sense. Students and staff can try doing "toy" things with them, but the moment we want to do anything that actually matters we hit a roadblock.
Except for asking the #allpowerful #AI to tell us what's what.
This is worse than not having AI at all!
