I appreciate all of NPR's work, but this is not the best-written story. 1/1 . While it's good to highlight real people's voices, omitting verification of real complaints implicitly undermines them.

2/2 ."Graduates boo because they know AI is hurting their future" is a very different story from "Graduates boo because they *THINK* AI is hurting their future." I do think the online version handles this better than the radio broadcast.

3/3 . Chetan Jaiswal, a professor who was quoted in this story, clearly has a bias. Again, NPR's online version was a little better, saying, "despite – or perhaps because of - those experiences," whereas Jaiswal only says "despite".

These kids know AI is, 1) Brainrot Garbage 2) Destroying their futures 3) Demanding huge data centers that will destroy communities and the environment. AI is crap. People need to reject it and kill it in its cradle.

I was in school, learning 3D animation and modelling when AI came out. 3 months into my year long crash course Microsoft layed out 10k employees in the gaming industry. If they started school 3 or 4 years ago, they know they just wasted their time and money because of AI. I'm still angry.

Word of advice to all commencement speakers: stop peddling AI, these graduates don’t want to hear it. It’s a commencement speech, not a commercial opportunity. I don’t think it’s rightly understood how much the general public’s sentiment ranges from does not want to does not care about AI.

Because, as usual, out of touch elites like the pro-AI speakers and, quite frankly, you gadflies at NPR, don’t understand that the vast majority of normal people are not interested in buying your bullshit.

They’ve spent the majority of their college careers being required to use “AI” and then having to fix its fuckups. They’re sick of the people who stand to profit from these products advertising them and being told it’s “inevitable.”
