Purdue University approves new AI requirement for all undergrads

From my long-ago uni courses, current-day AI could have helped with the non-major courses: English and History, doing the first draft or even the final drafts of papers, etc. As a science major, I'm not sure what the point of relying on an AI is as it would leave you empty when considering further education or the tests they require. And as far as a foreign language goes, one needs to at least read the stuff without relying on Google Translate (assuming they have such a requirement anymore).

But I like to think that actually learning the history was important and it certainly was a diversion from math/chemistry/physics. I liked Shakespeare, so reading the plays was also worthwhile and discussing them in class was fun. Yeah, I was bored to tears in medieval history, so AI could have helped there.

It'll get you an academic integrity investigation if you get caught using it to write either a first draft or a final draft of a paper, and especially for an English class where the whole point is for you to learn how to write.

If you're going to try to fake being able to write, better to try to dupe any other professor than a professor of English. (source: raised by English majors)

Hope so. But if you can’t use it here, where CAN you use the thing??

That ain't my prob'm. I simply don't use it. I have no use for it, because I aspire to be a leader and AI can only help you follow.
