Vanderbilt University has apologized for using artificial intelligence to write a 297-word email to students after the Michigan State University mass shooting, causing two deans to temporarily step down.
The Peabody Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion sent students an email on February 16 reminding them to 'take care of each other' after the MSU shooting.
Although the email came off as kind and offered students ways to help promote a caring environment with their peers, at the very bottom, it revealed it wasn't written by a human.
...
Since the outrage begun, two deans who signed off on the email - Nicole Joseph and Hasina Mohyuddin - have temporarily stepped down while the Peabody EDI office 'reviews' the situation, Peabody's Dean of Education Camilla P. Benbow said in a statement.
Benbow claimed the 'development and distribution' of the email 'did not follow Peabody's normal processes,' nor was she or other university administrators aware of the email 'before it was sent.'
Benbow insisted she remains 'personally saddened by the loss of life and injuries at Michigan State' and was so 'deeply troubled that a communication from my administration so missed the crucial need for personal connection and empathy during a time of tragedy.'
Joseph, before she temporarily stepped down, sent a follow-up email to students on February 17, apologizing to students for the 'poor judgment' of the office to use AI to write the email.
'While we believe in the message of inclusivity expressed in the email, using ChatGPT to generate communications on behalf of our community in a time of sorrow and in response to a tragedy contradicts the values that characterize Peabody College,' her email read, according to Buzzfeed News.

Apologizing...for getting caught, and for being too dumb to read the email before copying and pasting the entire thing.
Want to reduce the cost of HigherEd, fire every DEI employee. They are useless.
It took two ‘tards to run this psyop?
DEI needs to DIE a quick death.
Let’s have AI write an essay on the many reasons to eliminate Diversity and Inclusion hires from all organizations.
Meh, they won’t be going anywhere. They won’t even be docked any pay.
“Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion sent students an email on February 16 reminding them to ‘take care of each other’”
They will have to be fired for not urging that white students be shot...anti-white racist hate is their job after all.
THE “The Peabody Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion” needs to seriesly lobby mightily to incarcerate the anti-socialists for a LONG time.
Makes you wonder how the doctoral dissertations of these deans were researched and written.
“Deans” in what world?
I thought it was funny.
AI sympathy comes as close to human feelings as most liberals can muster up.
How does this AI thingy work?

” The Peabody Office of Equity, Diversion, and Inclusion “.
All “ universities “ have them, because some faceless master requires it .
George Orwell......yet again.
These two DEI frauds were probably pulling down at least $150K a year each and they couldn't even be bothered to compose their own email?! Suspension hell no. Fire them and do away with the positions.
Indeed. Fire every one of them. And do away with the Studies disciplines: Gender, Afro-American, Chicano, LGBT , etc.
Wouldn’t matter. Universities are rotten. It’s like trying to remove one fly off rotting fruit.
I would say after salary, benefits, travel, etc. you probably looking at $200-225k per year. Then add in their executive assistants at probably over 100k per year as well.
No only were they too lazy to write their own email, they were too lazy to proofread the AI email to see it had the created by ChatGPT AI disclaimer at the bottom. Watch as they blame some staffer for this.
