Teachers and lecturers aren't going to be made obsolete.

So there's this big worry going around that AI is gonna snatch up people's jobs, right? And our dear lecturers, they're getting pretty antsy about it too. They're scared that once AI starts giving students an even better experience, they'll be left with, well, not much value at all.

But hold up! Let's flip the script for a sec. Some might say that higher education was never really about top-notch teaching anyway. I mean, let's be real – not all lecturers are rock stars in the classroom. Instead, the real deal with higher education is all about the accolades and reputation you get from it, you know?

So, maybe it ain't all doom and gloom for our lecturer friends. AI could take some of the teaching load off their shoulders, but the prestige and value of higher education – that's still gonna be there. And who knows? Maybe with a little AI help, lecturers can focus on other stuff, like research or mentoring students, and that'd make higher education even better in the long run.

What do you think, folks? Will AI really be the end of the road for lecturers, or could it be the start of something new and better for everyone involved in higher education?
