If you are using AI to code, are you telling employers that they should hire AI for a coding position? Replace “code” with anything else.

Philosophically, when using AI, does it mean you need AI to create better work OR that you won’t be bothered to do the nitty gritty?

There has not been a time when critical media literacy is as important and as urgent than now!

New Jobs will be created. Some jobs will be lost. All jobs will be changed. ~ Jensen Huang, NVIDIA CEO
