any educators with constructive ideas about how parents can push back against this kind of effort in schools?
My 7-year-old's school partnered with Open AI 😭
I thought we had time before it affected our school
I don't mean to rant about AI all day long but it's being pushed in every aspect of life

obviously this is bad, but it’s long been true of other countries we praise to the skies for their healthcare and a lot of progressive Americans don’t want to acknowledge that as a huge vector of oppression. there are a lot of places I couldn’t emigrate to even if I wanted bc they have BMI limits
