Has it pedagogical value? Maybe. Was it fun? Definitely.

Something we work on from cradle to grave 💪

Indeed. I ran an (internal) AI training session recently - prompting techniques. "But what if students cheat with that?" - no no no! Ask why (some) students may feel the "need" to cheat! What may be the root causes for a specific assignment (in case there are problems)? Ask that.

I call it "the witchhunt mindset" 🧙

You could claude it 😂

Humanities have such an important - crucial - role in ethical AI development and use. Think what philosophy and psychology can contribute here! Cutting them is negligence!

YES! I keep saying in the AI trainings I run - "talking" to AI tools has improved my precision and clarity in how I communicate today. Less "reading between the lines", more face value.

A6 - Life literacy. In 5-10 years, GenAI will be as "normal" as smart devices are today. And we're still struggling to teach our kids to be literate with those. The most important skill: Learn to never want to stop learning! #LTHEChat

"Ipse se nihil scire id unum sciat" comes to mind 😊

I sign that, too. More often than not, we don't need to know 100% to move on successfully - 60%, 70%, 80% (I'm making up percentages) might be sufficient.

Most definitely. Personally, I've never been as creative in creating images/videos using AI tools than before (now I have a tool that helps me express my "artistic" side). The so-called "higher level skills" come to play and they're here to stay!

A5 - Help them "experience" the problems stemming from human-made data used in LLMs. A little exercise: Have them AI-generate an essay in class & then ask them to mark it (rubric), check sources, synthesis, line of arguments, overview, etc. - and they may notice that there are flaws. Lots. #LTHEChat

Signed!

Indeed - and how does this make our students feel? Trusted? I asked mine, and they rejected the sentiment. Academic micromanagement?
March 12, 2025 at 8:42 PM
I'd say so. Let's play this even more to the extreme & say - every human idea is based on experiences, lessons learned, preferences, filters, etc. etc. My (hopefully) creative ideas seem to always spring from something I have seen/heard/experienced before - but would not know exactly each "source".
