Absolutely. Thanks for asking.

I totally agree. The company I work for already has several successful private schools that use AI-tailored learning experiences to condense core curriculum to 2 hours a day. Not only does it allow kids to move at their own pace, but it gives time for life-skill learning in the afternoons.

I feel like the goal of AI should be automating away the work that no one wants to do to allow people to focus on the harder/more critical work that is enjoyable. It always seemed wild to me that GenAI wants to automate creating art by employing people to mindlessly categorize images in rote work.

Do humans and AI work better together or alone? Surprising MIT findings Study reveals when human-AI collaboration excels and where it falls short, rethinking AI’s role in creative and decision-making tasks

Surprising MIT study reveals AI might work better solo! But here's the twist - human-AI teams shine in creative tasks. Time to rethink how we collaborate with AI? www.thebrighterside.news/post/do-huma...

I think the problem with gamification is that it is inherently an afterthought. If you want to encourage learning through game mechanics, you have to start designing for that goal. At best gamification is an attempt to motivate an activity that is inherently not engaging and playful.

Absolutely agree. And I think that happens on both fronts in terms of calling out terrible uses of AI, but also supporting more responsible and innovative uses of AI. We definitely need a better process to distinguish the two quickly, but that's a whole other topic.

From what I've seen, ChatGPT is great at generating writing that people don't care much about like marketing emails or website copy. Unfortunately it looks like writing assignments fit that category for a lot of students.

AI Will Shrink The University With AI attention on teaching and tutoring, with budget challenges ahead, and with most spending outside the classroom, colleges need to embrace AI in order to shrink.

AI is set to compress higher ed - but maybe that's not a bad thing? More efficient learning, specialized teaching, faster degrees. Quality over quantity. And hopefully cheaper too.

Why A.I. Isn’t Going to Make Art To create a novel or a painting, an artist makes choices that are fundamentally alien to artificial intelligence.

Can AI make real art? Ted Chiang argues no - because art isn't just about big creative decisions, but thousands of small conscious choices that AI fundamentally can't make. Thought-provoking analysis in @newyorker.com newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/why-ai-isnt-going-to-make-art
