A study in HS shows that a chatbot trained to act as a tutor did not bolster learning, and the standard chatbot harmed it. Edutopia is not deterred, looks to college students for confirmation. The article ends with what looks like ads for Khanmigo and MagicSchool.

"AI does not suffer from bias, fatigue, or inconsistency, making it theoretically capable of delivering equal and objective education to all students."
This misconception is incredibly dangerous to teachers and students. These systems tend to amplify, not erase, bias.

I guess if you consider 'marking' student writing to be comparing two pieces of writing and determining which one is better... okay?
Another case of tech changing criteria rather than meeting them.
"AI essay markers have been around for the 1960s" <- Yep, this isn't the hard part.

This post implies that 'AI' and LLMs are equivalent terms, and this person is running a PD on AI!
The article itself demonstrates how #AIinEducation PD has become an avenue for marketing the products big tech is pushing on schools, rather than focusing on what works for student learning.

Recent survey shows 69% of teachers say they use AI—but are they really?

🔹 Only 4/25 had used ChatGPT
🔹 No one had touched Microsoft Copilot—despite free access!
The gap isn’t AI—it’s training.

"You're avoiding AI out of fear!"
"Using AI makes you a cutting edge teacher!"

"But we must separate work that is tedious and replaceable from work that is meaningful and relational."
The moral failing is not recognizing the meaningful and relational in what we cut for "efficiency".
