The intellectual bankruptcy of anti-AI academic
alarmism: A rebuttal
Posted on 28 Oct 2025 by Neil Harrison
A few years ago, a philosophy colleague and I taught
a college English composition course at Lindenwood
University organized around a single, surprising (for
students) word: bullshit. We leaned into the theme,
using Harry Frankfurt’s classic essay as our guide
and asking students to explore what it means to be
sincere, what it means to be a fraud, and how to tell
the difference. We also decided to lean into the AI
moment. This was Fall of 2023, the beginning of the
first full academic year since ChatGPT was introduced.
We didn’t ban the new generative AI tools; we invited
them into the classroom. We experimented with
writing papers with AI assistance, making the central
work of the course not just writing, but thinking
critically about how we write. Our guiding principle was trust. We trusted that
by including students in the conversation, by
empowering them to use and critique these strange
new tools, they would become more engaged and
curious, not less. We wanted to replace the impulse to
police our students with an invitation to collaborate
with them.
AI and critical skills
That classroom experience felt vital and exciting. But
it now feels like it exists in opposition to a dominant
and growing mood in academia. I see a rising tide
of anxiety about AI, a kind of moral panic that my
co-author James Hutson and I have started calling
“academic alarmism.” This rhetoric often cloaks
itself in philosophical rigor, insisting that because
AI lacks human “moral agency,” it is unfit to serve
educational roles. We hear that terms like “tutor” or
“collaborator” must be restricted to humans, a kind
of linguistic gatekeeping that ignores centuries of
learning with non-human tools. (…)
Guide, not gatekeeper
(…)
We argue that the university’s role isn’t to be a
gatekeeper but a guide.
The alarmists warn of disengaged students and the
death of critical thinking. But when I hear those
warnings, I think of a specific student from that
“bullshit” class. She dove into the experiment,
using AI tools with an intellectual curiosity that was
inspiring. (…)
The university has always been a place of mediated
knowledge, from the un-agential textbook to the
impersonal learning management system. To insist
now that only unmediated, Socratic dialogue with
humans is “authentic” education is to weaponize a
fiction against pragmatic innovation, especially in an
era of mass education where that ideal is rarely the
reality for many students.
The real pedagogical crisis is not the advent of
generative AI but the structural underfunding and
the challenges of widespread university access that
have defined higher education for generations.
AI, thoughtfully integrated, has the potential to
redistribute scarce human attention and restore
some measure of the engagement we all yearn for.
The challenge of higher education in the age of
AI is not to shield students from complexity but to
equip them with the habits of mind, skepticism, and metacognitive awareness required to flourish amid it.
The pedagogical imperative is not less responsibility
but more.

Indicate whether each of the following statements
about Critical Literacy made by Caetano in "But When
Do I Do Critical Literacy?" is true (T) or false (F).
( ) Since teachers understand the implications of their true role in the classroom, they can use Critical Literacy theories to promote discussions that lead to autonomy, political consciousness and active participation of their learners.
( ) When considering a local context of learning and subjects involved in the teaching and learning of a foreign language, the social changes that have occurred in the last years shall not be considered, because they have not significantly affected the profile of regular school students.
( ) The relations of domination, the hegemonies of power, the reproduction of privileges and the oppression must find – in the classroom – space for awareness, struggle, questioning and social transformation, mainly because it is more than clear that historical and cultural diversity occupies a significant place in the geopolitical scene nowadays.
( ) According to the Brazilian Curricular Guidelines for High School (OCEM), teachers of English as a second language do not need to address Critical Literacy in the planning of classes, in the preparation of materials and in all their methodological choices, through the exploration of relevant themes such as citizenship, diversity, equality, social justice and values, among others.
