A recent incident at Vanderbilt University illustrates the risks of using AI for personal communication. After a tragic shooting, the university sent an AI-generated email intended to reassure students, but the response was outrage as students felt betrayed by the lack of a human touch. The act was deemed inappropriate given the context of seeking comfort and connection in times of crisis. Faculty acknowledged the emotional dissonance created by AI communication, emphasizing the need for human connection that transcends technological interactions.
In the wake of the tragic shooting at Michigan State, a reassurance email from Vanderbilt University, crafted by AI, sparked outrage, highlighting the need for genuine human connection.
AI-generated prose, despite becoming more human-like, often lacks the emotional depth and connection that personal communication during difficult times necessitates, leading to feelings of detachment.
