Recent commencement speakers including Google's Eric Schmidt have been booed for praising AI and encouraging students to use it as they embark on their careers.
They went from “AI will be your slave robot doing menial work” to “AI will take ALL the jobs, so you’ll have to do whatever it can’t (yet)” within like 3 years. That’s shorter than a typical 4-year college degree. That means kids who went to get degrees are now neck-deep in debt with bleek outlook on their careers. And these speakers want applause? Booing is actually the best outcome.
