Harvard Swaps Nerd Professors for AI Bible Salesmen
Harvard's Professor Alex Green warns that the AI classroom craze is 'damaging students' communication skills,' leaving future communicators stuck screen-sharing writing tests just to prove they aren't AI zombies. Despite recognizing AI's usefulness for research fodder, Green criticizes the push for 'seamless and easy' learning, lamenting the risk of replacing devoted teachers who 'sacrifice' countless hours with AI bots. From California State's AI-powered ambitions to South Korea's AI textbook neck-snapping rollback, the tale reveals an awkward tech tango where 'bible salesman versions of AI' might just leave students fluent only in chatbots, not critical thinking.
