"AI" chatbots and text generation tools are extremely harmful to learning
and should not be used in schools.
The idea is that teachers write a question on the app, and then get all their students to "check in" with how they're feeling.

And then the teacher can see a summary of how each of their students responded.

No human interaction required!

This is horrifying and completely unsurprising.

Sell the problem.
Sell the solution to the problem.
Sell the solution to the solution to the problem.

While this it's funny to laugh at an academic that "should have known better", teachers and students are being told to use this technology by schools and universities.

They are being told to make it an integral part of their work, and when it breaks they will lose everything, and it won't be funny.

"If we're to use AI to "teach" our kids then why we need schools at all? Kiddos can just stay home then and use a computer..."

"School is for learning how to think - not for cognitively offloading that hard work to a proprietary, for profit tool."

"Learning MUST be reality based. AI and LLMs are too prone to hallucinations and misinformation to have any place in a school."

"AI is not an appropriate tool for children. Beyond safety and the growing evidence that using AI undermines learning and skill development in children, there are also significant environmental impacts. We should not be normalizing use of AI."
