It’s almost like a place focused on improving the human should operate differently from a place building commercial products.
Couldn't agree more, and yet, attendance itself is a commerical product.
And for the good reason. I have yet to see 1 (one) reason how giving infinite cheat machine to students is of any benefit to them. The secret to mastery remained unchanged for a thousand years: books, lectures and homework. All of this can be done with pen and paper level of technology.
The issue you’re describing is a mindset/cultural one, not a technological one.
The same cheating machine can be used as a tutor. Those same cheating students understand, that at the gym, they themselves have to lift the weights to get strong, but that mindset doesn’t carry over to their classes.
AI is a tool like internet was and it's the responsibility of the curriculum to teach proper usage of that tool rather than fighting against it.
>the two most reliable places to get an answer are the physical library and AI. Uh in what universe? Obviously physical books are helpful but are not most of the new ones being written with the assistance of an LLM?

definitely try out:
galaxy s9 ultra tab (wacom! edit: also, 14.6 inch: bigger than any ipad series)
+ LAMY s-pen
+ paper-feel screen protector
(and optionally felt-tip nibs)
miles better than MPP or AES or other crap: those can't draw diagonal lines without wobbling, thought I was getting parkinsons
The primary use case of universities are to produce a generation that can contribute to the society in a meaningful and positive manner. Nowadays in-order to do that, AI literacy is a must for graduates just like it was 15 years ago when it was a must to have computer literacy.

until it was overrun by unverified AI slop. Let's just get the slop from the source!

A generation ago you saw similar resistance to the internet from HSS programs.

A home can also be built of mud bricks and heated by dung. The issue you’re describing is a mindset/cultural one, not a technological one. The same cheating machine can be used as a tutor.
