for me what it comes down to is counteracting the accelerationist aesthetic that pervades our lives right now, as well as the fact that AI almost always works as a yes-man. we want our students and ourselves to *pause* before we accept these new terms and make conscious choices

this fall a student said, to my face, after learning I had a PhD in literature, “have you heard the jokes online about how an English major is a pyramid scheme bc the only thing u can do is teach?” She had previously described using AI to read. Girl you NEED me to teach

the most horrifying part for me was that these students were legit asking what would you want to do if AI made it so you didn’t have to work? and my answer - spend time reading & discussing & writing abt books - was incomprehensible to them. ART IS WHAT ALL THIS LIVING IS FOR
