Consider signing this open letter. We must fight against the auto-destruction of the university as an institution where skills essential to democracy are being learned and practiced: reading, interpreting, writing, formulating research questions that go beyond the normative rationality of LLMs

Language is so funny. "Cannot be overstated" and "cannot be understated" mean similar things in this context. Ha. You can't overstate it means it's not possible to. Can't understate it means please don't understate it. Help me do both, I guess. Coming out of migraine and words are difficult.

CAIL = prerequisite knowledge for a critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims. For example, the idea that human-like systems are a sensible or possible goal is the result of circular reasoning and anthropomorphism.
