They are already sucking at Microslop's AI-encrusted teat. It's a major UK university, and there used to be a mix of systems, with a lot of really good functional software written in-house. Over the past decade, as they have been retired, they were replaced with MS-based turd-rolled-in-glitter ecosystems that drive me up the wall. The old stuff wasn't pretty, but it worked and did all you needed and no more. It now feels like some sort of Rube Goldberg machine with fireworks.
