EP 611: The Last Lectures: Why colleges ...

Everyday AI
About this episode

If your kid's college is still banning AI.....they're not gonna make it ☠️

↳ Not allowing students to use ChatGPT? It'll be a useless degree. 
↳ Using 'AI detectors' to police LLMs? Better to transfer now. 
↳ Haven't ripped up their 2022 curriculum yet? That university is on death watch. 

I've been holding this in for a bit. 

Time for some hot takes. 🔥

The Last Lectures: Why colleges still running from AI in 2025 will eventually die -- An Everyday AI Chat with Jordan Wilson
