OpenAI's rapid rush into education has been achieved by habituating users through training programs, institutional lock-ins, strategic marketing partnerships, and third party integrations that together are helping it become infrastructural to teaching and learning. It's going to be hard to get out.

So new studies showcase that the more you know how GenAi works, the less likely you are to use it! 😌
This reminds me of ai advocates who claim that those who refuse to use GenAi do so because they dont know how it works, yet it’s the opposite!

Teachers, unions, education leaders: AI does not clearly do what it's being marketed and hyped as doing in education. It won't save time, solve inequality, raise achievement, and it's not inevitable. But it will line their wallets. Still time to call a pause on it nepc.colorado.edu/publication/ai
