"I'm working on a machine that will make you guys redundant, and then I'll make those booing me see. l'll make you all see." is hardly going to do that.
He would be much better off talking about how it was the stuff of science fiction not long ago, and how the graduates would be helping to push humanity forward, and make real, things that were also previously considered impossible.
Some of the talks are also just really bad. I've seen a few, and they're little more than ads, or bragging about a thing the institution is doing that's unrelated to the graduates themselves. Saw one where the speaker was talking about how the college was using AI for various things. Why even have that in the graduates' speech?
