Both the "Continue" button and the "Try it now" button do *the same thing* in what is the clearest example of a dark pattern I've ever seen. Imagine someone is getting metrics about the "number of Google Docs users who are using AI" and all the numbers are total bullshit.

I left my associate professorship in the fall of 2022, just a couple months before chatgpt launched. AI wasn't among the reasons I quit, though the explosion of cheating during Covid, and the admin's indifference to it, were.
AI is *very* high on the list of reasons I'm glad I got out when I did.

"The math is brutal and the juxtaposition stark: millions for OpenAI while pink slips go out to longtime lecturers. The CSU isn’t investing in education—it’s outsourcing it, paying premium prices for a chatbot many students were already using for free."

Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.
