The Next Innovation in Higher Education: Vibe-Teaching™ - McSweeney’s Internet Tendency
• The article satirizes higher education's adoption of AI-driven "Vibe-Teaching™", where courses are generated by AI based on alumni complaints and require minimal faculty interaction.
• Vibe-Teaching™ allows universities to maximize enrollment and graduation rates without expanding facilities or faculty, focusing on the "illusion of education" rather than actual learning.
• The pedagogical model treats student assignments as unverifiable collaborations between students and AI, with success measured by student "vibes" and rising GPAs rather than genuine comprehension.
• Faculty are only required to log in every two weeks to confirm they are "still teaching", while AI generates course content and handles most administrative tasks.
• The approach is presented as an innovative solution to higher education challenges, prioritizing institutional efficiency and student satisfaction over traditional academic rigor.
