How can she be surprised? "Hey, here is this thing we're building that we hope makes 90% of you obsolete!", sounds like a great perspective for the future.

And the speech was given to graduating students from the College of Arts and Humanities and the School of Communication and Media.

Possibly the worst audience to stand in front of and praise the 'revolution' of AI

Honestly, she isn’t wrong.
However, the Industrial Revolution was a step forward, the AI revolution is most likely a great filter event. Industrialized Stupidity at Scale; Buliding giant data centers and turbo-charging climate change so some billionaires can race to see who can be the first trillionaire

Students fail to make the is/ought distinction.

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 16 points 2 hours ago

Maybe they're booing adults who fail to understand the can/will distinction.
