Vance Crowe joins Dr. Kevin Folta's University of Florida classroom to explain the biggest shift happening on the internet right now: the move from the Google search era to the agentic AI era. For decades, truth online was decided by backlinks. Now AI decides what to surface based on who answers questions directly, publishes primary sources, and makes information easy to retrieve. That changes everything for anyone who wants their work to be found.
Vance discusses his hypothesis: most of human office work is 80% focused on **Copy/paste/search/schedule** all of which AI will do for us going forward.
Vance shares the four rules he discovered while making his own content visible to AI, then takes questions from students on misinformation, AI-generated content feeding on itself, consciousness, the wealth gap, corporate monopolies, and why he believes large companies secretly love activists. He closes with the single biggest opportunity young people have today: while the last generation spent 30 years in copy-paste jobs, students entering the workforce now can build with AI from day one.
Plus: why human taste and preferences become more valuable, not less, in a world where AI can make anything.
