No, it will actively accelerate those trends and come at the cost of changes that really can reverse it. You're advocating for a cheapening and hollowing out of higher education and we can just not do that!

I have not found an AI model that gets facts about my study subject correct. They can't count letters in words, get tripped up by both logic puzzles and straightforward questions in the form of logic puzzles, etc. Each new model solves some old issues but has new ones that are discovered over time.
Frankly, it's the opposite. Faculty, students, and other staff should push for shared governance so they have a role in university development, we should push class sizes back down which will require expanding not reducing TAs, students should get genuine interaction not chat bots
This sounds like it will make college tuition more expensive than it is right now, perhaps accelerating the rate of cost increase. In this case college will be less accessible to people and therefore less people will enroll. Does that affect your suggestion?
That's not an inherent trade off. There are many ways universities can restructure their budgets. They can stop acting like hedge funds too while they're at it. That's why shared governance is important. It can counter admin's austerity
They're the kinds of things won by labor organizing and collective action. Using AI like this undermines labor's power and breaks solidarity, especially between faculty and students. If there's a use for AI in higher education it needs to be carefully conceived and vetted by all parties involved
