University of Louisville’s new AI use policy
Now I’m in nursing school, but I’m sure this also applies to the rest of the university. I’m honestly so sick of how much they are pushing the AI agenda. And I feel like they updated this because all of my professors are endorsing and using AI. Yall taught fine without it, we did school work without it, so I don’t understand why it’s needed. And mind you, this is NURSING SCHOOL!!!!
Edit:
Wow, i definitely did not expect this many people to see this, let alone that many people to comment. And I thank you all for the discussions! That being said:
I didn’t think about how because AI is so prevalent now that the university would want to be more “lenient”on it. And also to teach us about the good and the bad, but I feel like unless you’ve been living under a rock you know the bad and the minuscule amount of good it does. And do hospitals use AI? Sure, but if a doctor or nurse is using chat gbt or any generative AI to ask it questions about basic knowledge or what medications to give, then there’s an issue.
My main frustrations with this is the fact that my professors if they wanted to could AI generate assignments and maybe even entire lecture content. What’s the point of going to higher education, and paying for higher education, if my higher educators are going to AI generate things? And it’s not like for assignments they have to cite anything. So they could give me an AI assignment and there’s no punishment for them, yet if I use AI to do that assignment, and don’t disclose that, then it’s cheating and I could get kicked out. I would understand if the handbook said AI programs were allowed (which they require us to use 2 in my classes- which was a class fee…) but it doesn’t specify.
For you older gen saying this is like the discourse around when the internet was just getting started, cities where AI data centers are being built are telling their citizens to CONSERVE WATER USAGE. And multiple places have used up so much water and are about to be in a drought or already in one. The start of the internet did not cause that. And with everything being online, and AI allowing people to just generate images, or summarize a paragraph or book, the even younger generation is not getting a proper education. That’s why we are so close to a literacy crisis because these children cannot write, can barely read, and cannot comprehend. Not to mention how it is making the users lazy. Farnsley middle AI generated something they’ve put into their agendas for YEARS. They did not have to do that. And not to mention all the jobs AI will take. But maybe yall don’t care about the environmental damage or mental damage cause yall won’t be around to see it….
All this to say, AI is ruining the planet, and ruining the minds of young and old. And should not be allowed in education.
