The AI craze in higher education has no bounds and knows no shame.

Today we received a message from our education working group (who are all regular academics, not EduTech hires). An invite to a workshop on genAI and its wonderful uses in teaching, personal tutoring, assessment, you name it. There's the token reference to risks and potential dangers, but the tenor is unbridled enthusiasm.

The invite comes with a picture of this very workshop, which (quick look at the calendar) is still in the future.

The future genAI workshop is being advertised by a genAI image of itself.

My colleagues collectively have lost the plot.
