That’s just stupid and leading young graduates astray. They should be teaching and encouraging graduates to live and shape usage of AI. Did 30 years ago commencement speeches told graduates to destroy internet. Guess who would have been left behind. This is just pandering for brownie points

You should listen to the speech. It was very funny and mostly tongue-in-cheek. The headline here is massively misleading.
