Hilarious to me that while the average "AI" chatbot produces incorrect answers 45% of the time, the one run by Google - who built probably the single greatest knowledge-sourcing machine ever created - produces errors 76% of the time due to "poor sourcing" lmao

Cost #216 of larger #HigherEd class size:

Reduced ability to give student-specific feedback

This one makes me sad because we know that feedback is one of the most important contributors to learning.

A reminder to university administrators and boards of governors that the administrative functioning of a university depends on voluntary academic participation. Treat your faculty like cattle, especially during contract negotiations, and you may find the administrative gears moving very slowly.
