I entered the #ComputationalLinguistics field in 2018 by enrolling for a Bachelor's degree.
Since then, a lot has changed. Almost all the things we learned about, programmed in practice and did research on are now nearly irrelevant in our day-to-day.
Everything is #LLMs now. Every paper, every course, every student project.
And the newly enrolled students changed, too. They're no longer language nerds, they're #AI bros.
I miss #CompLing before ChatGPT.
