So. Amongst the possibilities churned out by the peanut butter cup algorithm is “AI and Creativity.” As in the SNL skit: AI and creativity is neither AI nor creative. Talk amongst yourselves. IoW, carry on, brave Elysians. (Lord have mercy)

I have some suggestions for the content of this BS. It’s a cheap joke, I know. But something about this needs to be inexpensive. Here are some course titles and additional tidbits as I have them. So here we go with the “Ai and CreatiVity” degree: ACV.
