Hypocrisy of the most utterly shameless and oblivious order is as elemental to U-M as the winged helmet, fall Saturdays, and a fanbase constituted primarily by those without any tangible connection to the institution whatsoever.
Today, we're diving deep into the digital realm of education, exploring the revolutionary onset of generative AIs, with a special focus on ChatGPT and the newly introduced UM GPT from the University of Michigan. Announced just this past August by President Santa Ono, UM GPT is breaking ground as the first major university-backed, custom-tailored AI, promising a transformative impact on educational accessibility and student engagement. But beneath the surface of this cutting-edge technology lie pertinent questions: What does AI mean for the dynamics of the classroom, and how might UM GPT, with its generative prowess, reshape the learning experience?During our investigation, we engaged directly with UM GPT, probing its intended functions and capabilities, uncovering a vision to revolutionize access to information, from intricate university-related inquiries to assisting students in their academic journey. Yet, as we delved into the implications of AI on classroom learning, the conve
