New Harvest: AI, Automation, and the Displacement of College-Educated Workers

I currently volunteer a couple of days a week as a tutor for the STEM program at a local community college. I’ve also recently taken some HVAC courses.

As one of the older folks on campus, I ask questions and mostly listen, and I find students’ perspectives on AI fascinating, varied, and perhaps naive. A few admit to being active users, but the majority don’t seem to use it or even know much about it. Others are firmly against it, citing accuracy issues. Even the instructors often shake their heads, showing little confidence in it and viewing it more as a frustration they have to deal with because of students who don’t do their own work.
