As a result of the BUGWU strike, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences suggested the use of generative AI tools to replace striking graduate students in an email sent to colleague's this week. Students, professors and graduate workers express discontent with the idea.
Generative AI can undeniably be a tool to cut menial work like summarizing long papers, creating presentations, etc. But I fear that its actual worth isn’t as high as these investors believe it is.
