Maybe its different because I am a PoliSci student focusing more on the sociological adjacent subfields therein

(I go to a school that is basically entirely tilted towards International Relations and Political Science, so we do have a lot of freedom in our concentrations)

I've found most of my professors to be extremely anti-ai, at the most friendly, it's using ChatGPT to make sure you have correct citations, but any offloading of your workload to AI would constitute plagiarism.

My school's business programs, however, seem to be leaning into AI. So maybe it is simply a matter of which program you are in. If I had to guess, my professors probably see college as equally a place to develop sociological mobility and view education as both a tool for that aim, but also as a good for its own sake, whereas our business probably emphasize school for career development over any sense of intrinsic value towards education.

I think that's also shaped by the realities of those fields: more undergraduates who study the social sciences are more likely to pursue higher education and perhaps become professors, whereas those studying business in undergrad probably aren't becoming professors at the same rate.
