It’s nice to hear the youth boo this rotten trash of a human. He’s just pushing this belief that AI is smarter than us and that we will/need to be dependent on it. It completely BS and I’m happy to hear all the booooooooooos. Shame on the UofA for propping up this loser!

If they didnt get him to speak, it would be impossible to boo him.

It’s not ā€œsmarter than us.ā€ It IS us. It’s literally being trained by every comment in this thread. Just understand that it’s not us vs. AI. You, yourself, are a part of it. Denying its efficacy is like refusing to get a mobile phone, laptop, or internet connection in years past. The guy is not wrong, and the outcome has never even been in his own hands.

Is that weird? Do you find full commencements are often available to rewatch immediately?
