Check out the latest edition of InTouch magazine for an article that I wrote about Ireland’s achievements in literacy. As the title suggests, we are doing very well internationally, but that’s not the whole story. Read the article to find out more…

I have literally never seen LLM writing that actually improved my life.

Someone asked me why I don’t let AI summarize reading for me or write drafts and the answer is that either of those shortcuts would eliminate the process of thinking. And the thinking is the important part.

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.
