Delip Rao: without deliberate practice, even the most powerful AI yields a hollow academia
deliprao · x · 2026-09-15
Delip Rao criticizes a paper on the future university: admins and AI companies assume scholarship develops without time, space, and psychological safety for deliberate practice — with the most powerful AIs, you still get a "scholarship-looking veneer" that stacks into a rickety scientific foundation. He also argues the paper serves institutions over people, endorsing benefit-less temp faculty and accreditation schemes that are themselves gameable.
