Commencement speakers at US graduation ceremonies face booing when mentioning AI, as graduates are anxious about job security. While speakers struggle to strike the right tone, students find "back in my day" remarks and patronizing advice frustrating. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang received cheers at Carnegie Mellon by connecting AI to the university's history and advising graduates to adopt AI themselves. However, many graduates prefer timeless counsel about character and integrity over AI discussions, highlighting a disconnect between speakers' and students' realities. Speakers are realizing that genuine, enduring wisdom resonates most sincerely amidst job market uncertainties.
