Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

I know the world is on fire, but can you help a girl graduate? She needs way more people to fill out her dissertation survey. You can fill it out if you're Black/AA and have ever been in grad school! If not, you can help by sharing!

Scientific discovery is always a PROCESS. This is a fun read to see the background scientific process that leads to improvements in our lives.
I have been trying to find the time to move away from the polical hellscape we find ourselves in to finish and share a bluetorial about science.
This helps me remember what this is all about.

What’s happening with the US government reminds me of this story (great book btw):
Libertarians took over a town in NH in 2004 and gutted its services, cut taxes, etc. Less than 8 yrs later things had gotten so bad that black bears were breaking into homes and killing people for the first time ever.
