Commencement speeches are typically given by celebrities, government officials, tenured professors or other notable individuals, but D'Youville University in Buffalo, New York did not hand the microphone to a human being during its spring ceremony over the weekend.

The private university opted to have an artificially intelligent robot named Sophia speak on Saturday to the over 2,000 people in attendance, including graduates, faculty members and families.

When the grads see a sample of their job replacements, I wouldn't be so thrilled either.

What are your thoughts about using Sophia for the commencement speech?

Nobody really listens to the speaker anyway, they just want their degree, so I don't think it really matters
