I'm with you on this - I tend to default to ChatGPT as it gives much better outputs, and generates superior images, but I'm very cautious with what I enter into it. Could you share the Alan Turing quote? - would love to read it

"Today’s announcements show this government is laser focused on investing in the futures of young people across Britain, knocking down barriers to opportunities, regardless of where they grow up."

Ooh, lasers 🤩

May need more than 300 characters for this one... mostly no, agreed, hence it's now in PSHE/RSHE not computing - was only put there as PSHE not in NC back then. But as with AI, pupils need a good grounding in how the internet works etc to be able it use it safely & a good place to reinforce messages

Writing effective prompts for AI - maybe, but understanding what AI is and how it works needs to be in computing (& taught 1st), plus plenty to go in online safety/PSHE around misinformation and bias. Use of AI should go across the curric. as should application of tech, to reflect real-world use.

Totally agree with you here - and even without AI the thinking and design process can be neglected in primary computing - I've met a lot of pupils who can create amazing things in Scratch but have no idea what selection means, or how to build something from first principles.
