Our concerns shouldn’t be ignored. Why is that everyone who isn’t part of education thinks they know everything to do with education?
Maybe, if you're not actually in university classrooms, teaching students in the age of gAI, perhaps you might want to stop and listen when people actually in those classrooms raise concerns about what they are seeing; and not just dismiss us as luddites, or boomers, or cruel profs playing cops

👃Yes, nasal rinsing shortens colds.
As cold season ramps up, one scientist says one of the most effective treatments is also the simplest: nasal saline irrigation.
Evidence shows it can ease symptoms, reduce spread and cut unnecessary antibiotic use.

“Why do you think it is possible to improve cognition by doing less of it?” — the perfect question for this age.
How could it possibly do this when it is a plausibility generator? Why would I want the most likely sounding response if I am supposedly 'using it as a dialogic thinking space' why would I want any of it??? Why do you think it is possible to improve cognition by doing less of it? I do not get this.
If you use it as a dialogic thinking space where you externalities thought and use it to hold, reshape, question, extent, perturb your thinking. Just like a good teacher or mentor could, except you need to set and guide the interaction style.

There are tons of movies about how emotionally painful it was for US troops to invade and occupy Iraq and Afghanistan and commit assorted atrocities while there.
"no one thinks about the perpetrators!" is always a lie.
Just thinking... we give so much attention (as we should!) to the victims of state violence, ie, people sent to CECOT.
But, we give little consideration to the psychic violence suffered by those tasked with carrying out the physical violence.
Yes, they "chose" those jobs. But...

If you ever have the experience of seeing a night sky out in the deep countryside you can understand this; it really is a fundamentally different experience, and I can't imagine it not being formative to people.
