[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An English major is about the best possible--fantastic preparation in critical thinking, communication, textual analysis, argumentative/interpretative writing. In other words: exactly those skills that AI can't muster, unlike, say, coding.[/quote] DP. I’m a huge believer in the value of majors like English and history, but I want to push back on your last remark. It’s so unnecessary, reductive, and snarky. I’m also not sure it’s true. Already, AI is pretty remarkable — I’m in a field filled with critical thinkers and folks who do deep analysis and writing, and I’m floored by how well AI does. It just feels like we can move beyond the simplistic “humanities vs. coders” trope by now. [/quote]
