He's likely being told to show how he's using AI in his classroom. The Administration and school that are telling him that are being told to encourage the use of AI in the classroom. The college is being told to incorporate AI in the classroom by donors and the institutions of private and public sectors that depend on capital investors. The capital investors are heavily leveraged into AI in their portfolio and using their other existing capital investments to push AI use in everything they can.

It's the same reason we got "smart toasters" with a touchscreen and wifi. Any reason or rational that a college professor once had is being overshadowed by these structures. It's a disease in our society that has existed long before AI.

AI just exposes it so perfectly and so ridiculously. In the past. You could convince someone why they might want their toaster connected to WiFi. It's ridiculous, but it's within a realm of reality. AI exposes the lies of incentives of capitalism so clearly. "This image is garbage and not even in a human way. It's not a poorly drawn or contains a common misspelling. It's literally hitting some internal feeling of anxiety when I look at it. That feeling of creepy, inhuman uncanny valley. And it will never go away".
