Here's an example though Kid A came out the same year as Sufjan's first record, RH guys are gen x, and that record is definitely not a millennial record. So I'm still claiming Stevens!

My problem is I eat SO MANY of the cookies people start to notice and then I am thinking more about whether I can reasonably get yet another cookie instead of paying attention to the meeting

In the end, I agree. Her gambit maybe is understandable, but in the end shortsighted and too conciliatory

I mean it is a funny thing that some of the broader MAHA talking points (corporate control of food, organic, no dyes, whole grains, etc) were in recent memory liberal talking points. What we once called 'crunchy.'. I can see perhaps her thought process here

Anybody who’s still advocating putting these tools anywhere near a school is not doing so despite the cognitive collapse they cause, but because of it. dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...

Abstract
Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative Al affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine monthly closed-book exams, high-school and college entrance exams, and homework scores and completion time across nine subjects. We exploit staggered Al adoption in a difference-in-differences design. Al adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months.
High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years. The losses are largest in social science subjects, followed by STEM and languages, and are especially large for junior students, high-achieving students, and boys. The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of Al users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores. Al users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-Al users experience small learning losses.

Dont do it. Canvas is evil and part of the AI problem. Just print your syllabus and tell the students to listen in class.
