I don’t really get the dismissive comments here. Universities have had gen ed requirements for years, one of which is usually something to do with computers. AI seems to be a technology that will be increasingly relevant…so a basic gen ed requirement seems logical.

That's why you don't understand the dismissive comments. The reality is that the technology sucks for actually doing anything useful. Mandating that kids work with a poor tool just because it's trendy right now is the height of foolishness.

God, so many edgy experts in here. Teaching kids that the "technology sucks" (i.e. what are its limitations, for one thing there's no "understanding", only a simulation of it) is also useful.

Yeah, yeah, for you who knows better than everything, you already know what they're going to teach from this press release, you already know it all, that's why you have no use for AI.

With little apology for breaking the HN civility rules. "They did it first."
