Kathleen Belewhello good morning howdy, I am teaching undergrads today for the first time in a long time and I hate that I have to start with the AI speech. Has to happen. I just hate it.
I hate that teaching has become policing and surveilling. I hate that learning has become evasion and shortcuts. I hate how AI papers say nothing at all; they have no capacity for originality, contribution, or social change.
In a world full of problems, I hate that this technology boils our engines of hope down to empty non-interaction. My school recently polled to see how the faculty feels about using AI for GRADING. At what point is it just robots talking to each other? Where is the humanity in these humanities?
We are told to do oral exams; I can't do that in a lecture class of this many students. We are told to use lockdown browsers, but they're only effective if you monitor the students by video. I refuse to take this step.
Eric LiknessAs Audrey Watters has described it,... this "cop shi*"
And as an Instructional Tech support person, I will never advocate FOR it, nor will I testify on behalf of it in any honor code cheating cases brought up on my campus. The vendor is welcome to do so, but I will not lend support to the claims THE VENDOR makes for their product.
