AI generated sticker at my university

2026-07-18 01:35 UTC

My university “gifted” us these stickers to celebrate Engineer’s Day in Colombia. I was so baffled because our university had a Graphic Design faculty. They could have given them the chance to design something nice, but they didn’t. Why are they wearing helmets? We are not even at Civil Engineering, we are at System Engineering/Computer Science, they didn’t even make the LLM generate something that makes sense. English August 17th Happy Engineer’s Day Thank you for providing us with solutions that help us build a better world University of Research and Development (UDI) Spanish 17 de agosto Feliz día del ingeniero Gracias por brindarnos soluciones que nos ayudan a construir un mundo mejor Universidad de Investigación y Desarrollo (UDI)

This perfectly sums up the main issue with generative AI and AI in general. It exploits laziness. Sure, they could have gone to the Graphic Design faculty, but that would have meant actually having to work, setting up a competition, finding judges, figuring out proper compensation/creditation, it would mess with the students study plans, you would need the approval from the GD faculty and the affected classe’s teachers. All of the above is not lazy, and ChatGPT is lazy. So instead of the GD faculty having a design printed and used, and the engineering students getting a meaningful sticker, the GD students lost an opportunity for a cool project, and the engineering students got a crappy sticker. Sigh…

Universities will demand copius amounts of tuition money and then AI-generate bs like this.
