Must be a recent phd grad then? GenAI has onlyreally been around for 4 years or so.
Recent, but not in a field or program that requires a PhD for faculty positions.

Hmm, seems a bit disturbing

I wouldn't be surprised to see this sweep through the unnecessarily credentialist industries.
Repealing dumb occupational licensing requirements would probably clean this up very quickly.

I'm guessing this is in some medical or social services adjacent field then?
I was explaining to my wife that industries supported by public money will tend to be full of unnecessarily burdensome occupational licensing. It's part of the problem of how to have accountability when you're spending other peoples' money. IMO the best solution is just to have fewer industries supported by public money.

Ding ding ding, although I'd say it's less supported by public money than some (without naming the field directly), heavily distorted though.

Yeah I've seen a proliferation of many different credentials in the medical/social services field. I think it's recent, but I'm not sure---maybe I only started paying attention recently.
I think part of it stems from the monopoly grip that the AMA holds on the production of new doctors. They make it so hard and burdensome to become a doctor, that we get a proliferation of other, smaller credentials to try and act as substitutes.
The healthcare industry is an absolute mess in America.
