It's finally happened. I've taken a class that was at least 50% AI bullshit.

Before every class, we have to listen to a short AI podcast where two fake people talk about the lesson. It drives me crazy when the two speakers agree with each other or share an "opinion."

Almost every single slide in the lectures has a creepy, uncanny-valley, dystopian AI photo that adds nothing to the lesson.

All instructions for projects make no sense, are extremely vague, and have a rubric full of useless jargon.

Every homework question goes like this:

What should you keep in the fridge?
A - Computer
B - Toothpaste
C - Chicken — without being refrigerated, bacteria can spread, and that is very bad for your health if you eat it
D - Socks

It is guaranteed that every correct answer is just the longest answer.

The AI even corrects its choices halfway through the problem.

"y = 1 - solve 2 + 4 + 4y = 20, so 4y = 14... wait, 4y = 20/4 - 4 = 1"

You can see the AI started to write the stereotypical correct long answer, realized it was supposed to be an incorrect choice, wrote "... wait," and gave a short incorrect answer instead.

Worst of all, we have dedicated "AI labs," and it's AI slop trying to teach me how to prompt AI to make more slop. The lesson is always to "add detail." Like, yea, no shit, man. The professor trains us to humanize the AI in our required prompts. Every instructed prompt starts with "you are my tutor" or "act as a distrustful professor" when it's so easy to just say "this is for my class" or "give counterarguments."

I wish I had some sort of call to action but I just had to rant! Is it only my school that is doing this? Please discuss!
