If the Fullerton rollout of TitanGPT is any indication, there is no there there. I know Gertrude Stein was talking about Oakland when she penned that famous line, but it so fits the idea that giving everyone a ChatGPT subscription at no cost and a few LinkedIn Learning videos is an answer to the educational challenges raised by generative AI.
I'm so glad you commented here. I was an early subscriber to Anecdotal Value, but it doesn't seem to be making it into my feed. I'll try to correct that.
We are coming at these questions from a very different perspective, which is helpful. So much of the discourse in the academy around AI is in the arena of what Henry Farrell calls AI Fight Club, which requires you to pick a side as either an enthusiast or a resister. Not a context that allows for nuance or exploration.
Thanks for that perspective!

I just posted the rather poorly thought out CFA response on another thread but note it here. I was at Sonoma State, which just imploded dramatically and so very tragically for many faculty who just lost their jobs. Faculty need to look ahead. I've been writing about this on my substack for the last six months https://www.calfac.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Resolution-for-a-New-CBA-Article-Governing-the-Use-of-AI-with-Friendly-Amendments-10.2024.pdf
