This is going to be like when all the schools were pushing big data because that was going to be the next big thing.

After more than a trillion dollars spent, LLMs can replace: (a) a new secretary with one week of experience (b) a junior programmer who just learned that they can install programs on a desktop computer, and (c) James Patterson.

That's the bright future that Purdue is preparing its students for.

Yes, AIs will be a huge thing...eventually...but LLMs are not AI, and they never will be.

This has nothing to do with whether the technology is valuable or not, it’s about cramming superficial treatment of trendy topics into academic degree rewuirements, which whatever one thinks of AI should be frowned upon.
