AI holds real promise, but only if it serves our students & society, not the other way around. Tools like this can help teachers, but they must come with strong guardrails & real protections. Educators, not tech companies, must stay in the driver’s seat. www.thecentersquare.com/national/art...
OpenAI launches teachers AI tools for classrooms
(The Center Square) – OpenAI has introduced a new free version of ChatGPT for teachers, as artificial intelligence continues to grow within education.

Adults let covid rip when we knew it wasn't safe because "go back to normal" was more important than children's health.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

I am allowed to fail students for AI use, and I do, and I say I will, repeatedly and emphatically. As a result, I wind up having to fail very few students for AI use.
I read the thread and know why they're not failing the students. They gotta let colleges fail the students for the sake of the curriculum and other students

The @medillschool.bsky.social was silent as 200+ journalists were murdered in Gaza, was silent as their own students were threatened w beating by police, then suspended me and denied me tenure for standing w the students.

This is mostly a result of covid causing compounding annual brain damage in people who stopped caring about covid combined with AI removing people's ability to think as well.

We have fascism. We have long covid and cognitive damage. And we have also destroyed structural motivation to do anything but deliver product and receive results. It began with standardized testing, and "AI" is just the nail in the coffin.
WE MUST FIGHT THIS.

Hey everyone,
I hate asking again, but the movers we hired ripped my family off. Quoted us about $4k then extorted another almost $4k. I’m sick from overwork, will have to miss work to recover and we’re down a lot more than planned.

Sorry, but why does every single person who thinks of this believe they’re the only person in the world to think of this? FWIW, as others have said, yes, students can and will use LLMs to reflect on the LLM’s initial response. (That’s also not what a primary source is but whatever.)

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
