My university is replacing the graduation announcer with an AI announcer

Students have to scan a qr code for their name to be read by the ai voice 🤦 and yes this is the same school that put a girl on academic probation/suspension for using grammarly.

Graduation annoucing is always fun when you have complex last names. Just wait until AI attempts to pronounce them

I can't wait to hear how it'll butcher my last name when it's time for me to graduate 🙄

Close-ish, "chadder" is just the absolute furthest off anyone has come to pronouncing my last name.
