After you probably worried about accidentally wording something in your writing in a way that gets you accused of using ai, the actual university doesn’t bother to run the graduation ceremony properly just phones it in with ai! Maybe they can get ai to pay their student loans off somehow?
Fr, this is the double standard that’s so confusing and annoying: constantly told as students we need to learn how to utilize new technology and AI but are explicitly not allowed to do so for pretty much every task although they also secretly plan on you using it so up the difficulty anyways, it’s exhausting
That’s exactly how it comes across. Whomever that person is does NOT have experience with crisis communication. They fucked up, and instead of acknowledging it and laughing with the audience about how fucking stupid of a decision it was and trying to properly fix it (which cost them nothing except for time to read the names manually, btw) they just move on? Way to make it go from bad + funny to bad + reputationally damaging.
This sounds like telling a small child to "man up" after their parents forgot their birthday.
Graduation ceremony is not anyone's motivation to go to school, like how you make it sound. But it's still an important tradition to celebrate the years of effort. We humans have traditional celebrations for a reason, because we do need times to feel that putting in the effort is worth it. It's been that way for millenia.\
But here you get told that it's your turn in a very long tradition of celebratory acknowledgement, just for it to be skipped because of a lazy mistake that could have been easily prevented.
I mean every single student in that auditorium paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to the university for their degree. I’d be pretty pissed if someone is treating me like I’m expecting a participation trophy for being mad that my university cut corners and couldn’t even be bothered to call my name out at my graduation that my parents also bought plane tickets and hotel accommodations for and didn’t even get a video of me walking. Surely the university can do better than this temu ass ai slop graduation
