"At the end of the day, these “intelligent” machines are little more than glorified autocorrect systems — predicting, not thinking. That’s dangerous, because it blurs the line between intelligence and imitation." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu
We wanted Superman-level AI. Instead, we got Bizarro. The illusion of intelligence is the new frontier of deception.
"I was a huge Superman fan as a kid. In fact, my first tattoo was of the Superman symbol — I know, cheesy. But there was something about that idea of strength guided by purpose that stuck with me. However, one character that truly captured my imagination was Superman’s failed copy — Bizarro."

How AI is reshaping integrity, assessment in universities
"Recently, ABC News reported that a Murdoch University student was taking legal action over what he claims are false allegations of unauthorised AI use in an assignment. In subsequent weeks, another report from the same outlet revealed that several Australian universities had been using AI to detect AI in student work, sparking debate over the reliability of such tools and their role in upholding academic integrity."
