[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a former teacher, and my LinkedIn is literally filled with alternating positions: "Our AI enables students to become better writers because it provides more and quicker feedback!" "Here's the Yale professor that's doing away with online books and doesn't allow iPads in class!" But it's mainly EdTech companies extolling their worth, including those that generate passages for students to read and be tested on. How can anyone love reading and get better at it when they're reading AI slop? [/quote]

Oh yeah you're making me think about that AI school that opened up in NoVa -- Alpha School.

Honestly as a full-formed adult, I [b]know[/b] all this stuff has made my reading, writing, and thinking sluggier. Sometimes I have to actively tell myself, Hey, you need to do your own thinking here! It's so easy to be in the mode of just consuming content. So it's sad to think what that would be like for a kid who is still developing and supposedly just starting to building problem-solving and reading comprehension.

I worked in EdTech in early 2010s so it's been awhile and I don't have a sense of the latest and greatest in the industry. But even so with what little I know, I'm rooting for pushback to grow and win over by the time my kid is in high school, one can dream...  :D [/quote]
