Imagine thinking that all the secondary stuff does nothing to improve or encourage life. But I guess expecting imagination or thinking from some people is too much to ask.

Sure. It’s called Model I Theory-in-use.


This 100%. The sad truth about true greed is that greedy people don’t want to have things, they want to live in a continuous state of obtaining more things. They are black holes of desire that can never be satisfied with what they’ve already acquired.

I’m currently attending a state university and they did the same thing. Same as in your case, the professors are all staunchly opposed to using AI for assignments (with one or two very minor exceptions). My solution has been to just not use AI tools for anything unless it’s specifically demanded (as in the aforementioned minor exceptions, one of which was to use AI to write a block of placeholder text during an exercise in building a basic webpage).
As for the target of your anger, it’s more likely the AI companies are paying the university to hawk their bullshit. Which, of course, is still awful because it’s basically graft coupled with compromising academic integrity. My campus also cut a deal with a food delivery service, ensuring that I never use that service. Not giving them money is the only thing they understand, and it’s the only thing in my power to do.
