Many white collar jobs require a degree, and people from institutions like schools will get trained on tools they later use during university and work.
These people will influence others then as-well.
Reminds me of Steve Jobs push to sell computers to educational institutions.
IMO, if universities want to use "AI", they should use their resources to implement their own, open language models rather then implementing a commercial one.

In a class of any substantial size, it's very obvious who is using ChatGPT and who is thinking for themselves. A large fraction (often 70%) of responses will be identical in structure and content, if not verbatim copies of each other. These are the people who have used ChatGPT. These are the people who tend to do very poorly on closed-laptop examinations. Students have a choice of how much of their critical thinking…
At the same time using chatgpt or any LLM productively, and getting the most out of it to help you think and reason better is a skill on its own that requires development.

In particular, not every school/university should do it by it's own. But they all together should do so (e.g. by funding the creation of open content).
That would allow to give out books (or copy content from it) for free, make it accessible to more students.
OpenAI is working the exact same way drug dealers working... give it away to students for free at parties, make them get addicted to it.

The elephant in the room is that many students are using ChatGPT to write their papers. Since they will use similar tools at work to create presentations, I'm wonder how much colleges should try to police use of ChatGPT by students.

Provide free usage to students, so they get used to using it indiscriminately, then they charge on a usage basis for non-students depending on the plan.
