By far the most interesting part of this post is in the second half where Bryan Alexander discusses how he used AI in authoring the post. To summarize a longer description, he wrote a draft, improved it with AI, and used AI for the image. I don't judge people according to whether or not they use AI. I focus on the results. The post is fine, so far as it goes, but as Alexander himself notes, it's still a bit long. It's a bit of judgement call, though, between preserving the original voice, which might be a bit wordy, and tightening it up with AI, which may push the article to the mediocre middle. As for the predictions: well, I think Alexander needs to read more broadly outside 'traditional' US-based education media. He says, "Not discussed very much (as far as I've seen) is the possible impact of agentic AI on higher education" and points to four very basic posts. I counted more than 60 references to AI Agents in OLDaily in 2025. The dearth of a wider background makes prognostication very difficult.
