It’s not about rights, it’s about power.

I mean maybe, or maybe the guy running show is just in his 80s knows he’ll be dead before any of that matters

This isn’t even what the OP was talking about. Teachers using AI to improve teaching is different than students using it to complete tasks.

Sorry, that’s not what *OP said*. Was he speaking much more targeted than your critique alleges

You called it defeatist while fundamentally agreeing with the entire point of metaphor. You just think it’s clunky, assuming your explanations were what you really think. But thats not what you said. He was also talking about writing specifically and you appear to 100% agree on that.

If this is true then you disagree with your first tweet, which I guess yay we did it lol

I know you agree with the second part, it just seems like you also think it should be a tool used in school, rather than a tool learned in school

I’m not saying AI is useless, I’m saying we need to be very careful and think through its particular use cases and limit it to those (in educator particularly). Teaching students *how* to use it will be far more important than the benefits they get *from* using it, while in school.

I think it’s relevant that thing you thought it made the most sense to compare it to was kept out of schools for a very long time by educators, that’s all.

It’s a bit weird to compare it to another tool most people agree is not a good learning tool but only exists because of the transaction/grade ratio obsessed school culture. A fork lift might also be helpful in the gym to set up your lifts, but maybe it’s also overkill and risks over-reliance

I mean very few metaphors perfect capture large, complex subjects, so no kidding. But I think it does a very good of capturing the majority of concerns about pushing AI too quickly and uncritically in learning

Right and I’m glad we agree on that, but you two reason you gave why the metaphor doesn’t work actually are about attention to students - not AI. There will absolutely be great AI uses in school (including learning to use it) but idk the metaphor is good

Mark that’s what teachers are for

I was expecting “I’m Donald j trump and I approve this message”

Yea, I agree. And maybe I’m bias against institutionalism here too, but part me of thinks people thinking about these issues writ large would rather Dems quietly change than have a revolution even if it’s not better for their theory of change

You think this is intentional or simply a function of where (or who) the theory is coming from?

It’s insane we’ve destroyed the meaning of words so much that “crisis” isn’t good enough for you lol
