Yes!

Totally get that, but I guess I don’t see how the rest of the review supports that reading. Nowhere does it suggest that it would be better off that way.

Have to be honest: I think people are misreading this. I don’t think this sentence is suggesting a desire for it to be like this; it’s simply articulating a possible version of this story. The rest of the review in no way suggests a rejection of the show’s deviation from this possibility.

It takes me 3x as long to grade assignments now, because I have to explain gently and effectively why ChatGPT style writing is boring -- they swim in this stuff now even when they don't use the tools. Maybe no one has even told them their own voice matters, so that is down to us. 3/

Something I’ve noticed and that @johannawinant.bsky.social gets absolutely right: teaching students to focus long enough to build (on) an idea is a gift. It’s no longer standard, at least not in K-12. It requires safety and stamina, both of which are in danger in classrooms across the world.

Doing this takes a shit ton of knowledge, skill, and self/awareness. If you as an educator don’t know why you’re teaching and assessing something, you can’t say “you can’t do this so you don’t pass.”

You need to know and state the why behind everything in your classroom.

Already, we're seeing students in creative fields who don't distinguish between *thinking* about an idea and *generating a prompt* to ask a machine to think for them, because they had a moment of indecision and wanted an instant solution. They can't see how the generated idea *isn't their own*
