was sent out on Thursday from the Peabody Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at Vanderbilt's Peabody College, and is about as vague and platitudinous as you'd expect from text composed by an AI that isn't even up to date with current events of the past two years.

"The recent Michigan shootings are a tragic reminder of the importance of taking care of each other, particularly in the context of creating inclusive environments," the email reads.

It's clear, too, there aren't any specific tie-ins to the grim event in question.

Needless to say that, as generative AIs become more ubiquitous and powerful, it's a race to the bottom to see who can come up with the dumbest and most ghoulish ways of using them.
