  • I asked Chatty for a TL;DR:

    Western fear of AI comes from a fascist obsession with “owning” ideas. Using AI isn’t a big deal — if students can “cheat,” it’s because courses are badly designed, not because students are inherently dishonest. Most students don’t cheat; the narrative that they do is exaggerated to justify punishing them unfairly. Academia exploits students, charging massive fees while offering poor educational value and using dishonesty accusations to control them. Education should be free and empowering, not a tool for gatekeeping and oppression. The current system betrays the purpose of education and contributes to larger societal decline.

    I think you went a bit too far. Most of this is also only accurate for the US.









    • If you use a public email provider, mark the emails as spam.
    • Set an email filter to delete all their emails. And if you’re mad, also add a forward to some of their addresses.
    • Email every single email address you can find on their website that they should remove your email address from their system. I live in the EU so I always mention GDPR, which they are required to follow if they wish to do any business with people from the EU. There’s similar laws in other countries.
    • If the senders email address is not a “noreply” email address, reply with “UNSUBSCRIBE”.
    • If the website uses an email service such as mailchimp, mark them as “I never signed up for this”. If a lot of people do this they might get in trouble.

    These are my default solutions for spam like this.
