Brilliant thread but oh my word
I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

Towards the end of last year my girls, years 6 and 10, admitted to me that they hated English at school. It's truly awful what they have to go through: the slow, slow torture of being explained to how to write a sentence. It's not the teachers' fault. Just a low howl of pain for them all.
