Well this horrifying #AI ad just popped up. The worst part is hard to pin down, but it's probably a toss-up between encouraging a student to auto-generate a citation without reading it, & the friend claiming she's used for years a tool that only recently had this range of shortcuts.
Talk to your kids/students about this! (Teaching prop, @LaurelGreen?) Have a frank chat about the kinds of critical errors that can slip in if they use this #Technology passively.
Oh, I know Grammarly is older, but these new tools haven't been around for years - that's a dishonest claim using the gloss of the company's age to suggest to young people that these specific tools have been tried and tested for years. They haven't been. But a young person seeing this ad might not know that, and take the comment as a reason to trust and use these tools anyway.
Thank you for the work you do!
@MLClark excellent observation.I think teachers who address AI are trying their best to educate about the landscape, maybe not so much their content. (Which is actually a problem, teachers in silos)
@MLClark so grammerly existed before AI. They are just hopping on trying to survive in an ai world.
Yes, yes, yes. ANY teacher (and any adult connected to a teenager) should be talking with students about ai. I teach tech so yes the convos are easier more natural for my classes.
