Curmudgeonly professors are part and parcel of universities. These are intellectuals, by default they don't fit into normal society. Universities are where they thrive.
Don't worry be happy, is that what you're saying?
What's hilarious about this is how short sighted and stupid universities are. Their cash cow programs are the ones DIRECTLY TARGETED by AI. What's going to distinguish some grade seeker that walks through Uni looking for 4.0 atop a pile of AI generated crud, and a real thinker?
It's going to be humanities. It's going to be the "liberal arts".
Not that I'm saying humanities won't need to adapt. The take home term paper will probably need to be replaced by verbal argument and defense, so they can prove they actually understand without an AI.
Humanities and actual intellectualism, as opposed to degree rubberstamping, is how universities will survive AI.
It's also amazing to me that as college costs have skyrocketed 10x higher than they used to be, humanities require almost none of that increase. Nor does it need the administration.
You can't afford humanities? I know "where is the money going" has reached comically Kafkaesque levels in modern "education", but this takes the cake.
