Jordan, I appreciate this take on AI. As a ninth and tenth grade teacher, I am taking my students back to the blue book. Drafts of paper are handwritten and then typed in class. It is almost an insurance plan for accountability/integrity but even I am not sure this is a long term, viable solution. Perhaps it is due to my own fears or challenges on how to ethically employ it.
During the first days of school, one student described Odysseus' journey as "arduous" in his writing response. Here is another line: "In essence, "homecoming" in "The Odyssey" is a multifaceted theme that highlights the arduous complexities of human existence." It is not that I do not believe a student capable of this level of aptitude, but once I asked him to define arduous on a post it note he replied back "Not sure, never heard that word before." It was a moment of humor and levity.
Kyndall, as is unfortunately often the case, I'm assuming teachers are in a unique bind here. I've heard similar stories, anyway. Maybe there are positive educational use cases — I don't know — but I doubt it's top of mind among tech execs. In the meantime, thoughts and prayers for Arduous Odysseus.
