“Let\u2019s just manage visible activity. It\u2019s this compromise that held the pieces together in an imperfect way, and then in the last 20 years, this centrifuge of digital-accelerated work blew it apart. The compromise is now failing.” https:\/\/archive.ph\/g7ZVN<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’re living in an age
Where limitations are forgotten
The outer edges move and dazzle us
But the core is something rotten<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we’re standing on the precipice
Of prejudice and fear
We trust science just as long
As it tells us what we want to hear”

“Our institutions have made a series of choices \u2014 including getting in bed with Microsoft and allowing all kinds of AI into our institutions in the first place \u2014 that make extracting ourselves from the #chatgpt ecosystem pretty unlikely.” https:\/\/digitaldetox.trubox.ca\/breaking-what-was-already-broken-ai-and-writing-assignments\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“…if there is one good thing coming from the #chatGPT<\/a> debate is becoming aware of the need to constantly reassess what is uniquely human. Testing and critically assessing new tools regularly (instead of banning them) will help us figure out how the limits of that are being stretched and enable us to adjust our role as educators and our students’ role accordingly.” https:\/\/educationalist.substack.com\/p\/lets-get-off-the-fear-carousel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
