    It is mostly likely the same reason why adobe, microsoft, and google strike these kind of deals: the job market demands their usage and so not educating your students on how to use them means not properly preparing them for their future career.

    Its a dogshit scenario, but as a web developer forced to use windows 11 without admin permissions and pidgeon holed into every garbage MS product this company requires I use, not knowing how to use their tools and operating system would have disqualified me from getting the job, even if I know how they work simply by using a competitor.

    I doubt OpenAI survives another year without govt bailout, but currently, every dipshit with too much money who hires people expects us to know how to use the hallucinating gaslight machine.

      Hard agree. My current employer ties 3% of my annual bonus to “demonstrating the use of AI in everyday work”. And I’m lucky it’s so little, I’ve heard much worse.

      It’s like having to put “blockchain” in the resume a few years ago, or “social media” before that, or “mobile apps” before that, or “e-commerce” before that, or….
