thanks for the tip! It's worth my having a hardcopy of your book anyways as someone gearing up to use your book seriously to teach others.

Good luck with the new book. I'm looking forward to it. In the meantime, I did order the edition with the new preface. I am working on creating a new "Using AI Thoughtfully" course for teenagers next summer.

Oh no. I didn't know Brian that well but many years ago, he was very gracious and kind to me when I visited FIS in Toronto over 15 years ago.

Keep going with your life-changing teaching and scholarship, Debbie!

I spotted something that lessens my instinctive oppositional reaction to the essay:

"""
Challenging generative AI’s influence [....] is not an anti-technology stance. My sci-fi–loving heart soars at the possibilities for human advancement AI can accomplish in medicine and neurotechnology.
"""

Thanks for sharing this article. I've been looking for compelling, intelligent "burn-it-all-down" cases against generative AI (even as I still use the tools myself at this point). I'll see to what degree I agree with the piece after studying it.
