UCF students boo AI-commented commencement speaker

“The rise of artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution. [booing] what happened? OK, it struck a chord with me. Can I finish? Just a few years ago, AI was not an element of our lives. [cheering] OK — okay. And now, AI capabilities are in our hands. And oh, I love it. “I felt like she didn’t know the audience she was speaking to. That wasn’t particularly exciting for a lot of young people who are trying to start working in these creative fields. A lot of art students in particular are pretty opposed to generative AI. AI can only spit out what’s already there, and I think a lot of artists want to tell stories from their own personal experiences. We want to create something that doesn’t exist yet.” “AI, along with human intelligence, has the potential to help solve humanity’s biggest problems.”
