A beautiful piece of writing. About humanity, pain, loss of parents and loved ones, poetic experiences.. everything that AI is not. And about impressionable minds caught in a death spiral engendered/egged on by insidious "sociotechnical" systems. Thank you for sharing, @benjaminjriley.bsky.social
"AI is not capable of artificial imagination. AI will forever be devoid of self-creation and self-extension so long as it lacks the capacity to imagine a world different from that which we’ve codified and fed to it. I do not lose sleep worried that this artificial capacity is imminent."

I had the pleasure of serving on the OECD 2021 PISA Math Framework Expert group in 2018 that was co-led by Bill Schmidt and Joan Ferrini-Mundy. Such an accomplished academic, and a powerhouse in educational assessment.
We saddened by the passing of esteemed education scholar William Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt was an AERA Fellow, recipient of the AERA Distinguished Contributions to Research in Education Award, and served as chair of the governing board of the AERA-NSF Grants Program.

In a few months, this World Bank study of "AI tutoring" will have dozens of citations and still be circulating as authoritative "policy relevant" evidence that AI improves learning.
Here's a very useful assessment of why it should not be interpreted, cited, or used like that.

There's a corollary to that they're missing—
Those who are able to think & problem solve WITHOUT AI vs those totally reliant on AI for their knowledge work will fuel the next intellect/knowledge/economic divide.
