An excellent true thing is that I gave unequivocally anti-“AI” talks at Wesleyan and Tufts this month where the computer scientists and engineers in attendance have no interest in allowing this industry to hijack education and asked me “how can we get our students to take your classes?”

I will start teaching my students how to use AI when my colleagues in computer science start to teach Homer, Dante, Langston Hughes, Borges, Foucault, Audre Lord, Spivak, and Donna Haraway in their classes

I realize many people don’t quite get that not every single professor in every single university teaches computer science and might actually be trained in and invested in teaching other things, like let’s say, history? Or poetry.
Or sociology.
It is not our job to teach students how to use AI.

The #AI fairy stories of today's tech bros parallel those they told about nanotechnology 20 years ago. In both cases, the tech echo-chamber demanded the rest of us accept a nightmarish future for the sake of *their* egos, magical thinking, and wealth. @philipcball.bsky.social writes: 🧪 🗃
