\nCollege used to be different. We had computers, sure, but when it was 5 a.m. and you were staring down a 9 a.m. deadline for a 10-page paper, there was no algorithm there to save you. You got used to the taste of 5 Hour Energy, or you accepted failure. Muscles honed by long hours in AOL chatrooms helped us crank out hundreds of words in the blink of an eye. Were they coherent? Probably not. But they were at least derived from real thoughts, however bleary they may have been.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nStudents today exist in a world in which machine-learning tools like ChatGPT have completely upset higher education. They\u2019re using AI to write papers that professors are using AI to grade. Robot-assisted cheating has killed Princeton University\u2019s centuries-old honor code. Teens now entering college are already hardened by years of outsourcing their education to a machine. The media frenzy surrounding AI in higher education has largely painted the Gen Z and Gen Alpha students adapting this new world as lazy or entitled, content to skate by on artificial brainpower. That may be part of it, sure. But it also sells college students a bit short: many of them are still smart enough to realize that AI is going to hurt them more than it helps.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe people who don\u2019t realize this, unfortunately, are university administrators planning graduation ceremonies. This graduation season, multiple universities have trotted out utterly tone-deaf big-tech boosters in order to inspire a generation of students about to enter one of the most dismal job markets in recent history. At the University of Central Florida, commencement speaker Gloria Caulfield, a VP for a \u201csmart city\u201d development company, was almost booed off the stage when she called AI \u201cthe next industrial revolution,\u201d speaking glowingly about the technology to a room full of students whose lives will increasingly be defined by it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIt happened again, when former Google CEO Eric Schmidt also tried to comment on the technology\u2019s infiltration of every aspect of public life during Arizona State University\u2019s commencement. \u201cYou will help shape artificial intelligence,\u201d he began, before a chorus of boos broke out. \u201cWe do not know the precise contours\u2026\u201d he tried to continue, before being drowned out again. This process repeated several times throughout his speech. \u201cWhen someone offers you a seat on the rocketship, you do not ask which seat. You just get on,\u201d Schmidt said. \u201cThe rocketship is here.\u201d The assembled ASU students did not want to get on, it seemed, regardless of the seat.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cHis speech was incredibly disrespectful to students,\u201d Olivia Malone, a recent University of Arizona graduate, told the Associated Press. \u201cWe as students are discouraged from using it and penalized for using it. And then to have our speaker be the champion of AI is just like, OK? Why?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBig Machine CEO Scott Borchetta \u2014 famous for selling Taylor Swift\u2019s catalogue to Scooter Braun \u2014 even got caught by the AI boos during a speech at Middle Tennessee State.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAI is rewriting production as we sit here,\u201d Borchetta started. There were some scattered boos from the back of the room. \u201cI know it. Deal with it,\u201d he quipped. \u201cHey, then do something about it, ok?\u201d he said as boos continued.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe most surreal example came at Glendale Community College, also in Arizona, where university administrators bizarrely left off dozens of students\u2019 names from the rolls during graduation due to a mistake they blamed on a \u201cnew AI system.\u201d Again, a chorus of boos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat we\u2019re seeing here is less an unpopular technology and more a generational divide in how people see the world. Polling on the issue, thus far, is clear: Last year, Pew Research found that while 50 percent of all Americans are concerned about the technology, young people in particular are convinced that it will make people worse at thinking creatively and forming meaningful relationships. The dangers of AI, to people raised around it, aren\u2019t hypothetical: they\u2019ve seen it degrade their lives already.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur career path is compromised by AI,\u201d Don Strouble, a UCF grad who was at the ceremony, later told KnightNews, UCF\u2019s student newspaper. Strouble added that he thought people like Caulfield were trying to \u201cforce a state of acceptance about something hostile to not only our livelihood but the environment and the livelihood of people living near data centers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor an adult on stage, AI is a glittery new technology, one that makes them excited about the future. After all, their careers are firmly entrenched. Why would Eric Schmidt care if AI tanks the job market he\u2019s sending students out into, so long as the value of his shares in Google are going up? His peers who are actively boosting the industry are an extreme example of this. The AI industry is similar to a classic pyramid scheme, where the bottom is falling out more and more every day. Everyone, for the most part, leaves college on the bottom of the pyramid. Only now, there\u2019s no solid ground to stand on to even start to climb up \u2014 just a bunch of binary code, zeros and ones. America\u2019s youth are smart enough to figure out that in this future, they\u2019re the zeroes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
