Nanjing University Prof's Slide: "CS Students Without Tokens Should Drop Out" Sparks Debate
创业邦 · wechat · 2026-09-06
Nanjing University CS professor Jiang Yanyan's slide stating "CS students without tokens should drop out immediately" went viral. He meant tokens are now a resource to be taken seriously. The piece explores a new usage divide: surveys at Middlebury and Harvard show most students rely on free AI tiers, with paid users differing significantly in usage and trust. It also covers who should pay for tokens, universities' rapid major reshuffling, and Jiang's practice-centered course freely available on Bilibili.
