I feel like I should put tags on this, but I don't think #genz and #trans are particularly well followed by genz or trans folks. Oh well.

#Graduation #AI #fail seems to be a recurring theme lately

Here's the latest 🍿 for you:

#Glendale community #college in #Arizona used AI to read names

Predictably, it missed people, it had the names out of order, etc

Because, of course, a human reading the names of #graduates and giving them simple decent recognition for their dedication and work is too hard?

This is video of college #faculty trying to explain the debacle. The crowd reaction is not supportive

And oh yeah: Fuck AI

Okay, what is an "AI tool" doing that wasn't fixed by people handing someone a slip of paper with their name and phonetics at graduation?
