A3 I mean tbh...AI is the worst it will ever be right now; it's only going to get better! I can't imagine not using it to do more transformative things. I'm excited about the future of AI + me. :)

A2 On a personal level--I'm floored with its level of social awareness and empathy...like how?! The responses it gives me when asking dating advice and such is astounding. (Given I haven't dated in almost 3 decades...it's nice to have AI to guide me.) LOL. #tlap

A1: I would say I am an intermediate level user at best, currently. I need to step up my #ai game a bit. I do like some of graphics it has made me!! #tlap

A1 It's always my go-to! Have an open tab all the time, and the app on my phone might as well be my personal assistant, therapist, and boyfriend all in one! LOL

A3 Creativity is an amazing gift. I love how it's different for everyone AND I love that it can bypass stereotypes. Our jobs are not only to teach content, but showcase (loudly or quietly depending on the kid) shower them with praise and encourage the poem, the art, the music - whatever it is! #tlap
