I am worried about the epistemic implications of using AI in classrooms. I shared those worries with Studies in Philosophy and Education. You can read them here https://t.co/CnzVyra3kf

@Jpullen19 I've been researching and writing about AI and pedagogy to try to represent my own screams into the void.

@paulnovosad It goes okay. I use it to help students think about imperialism & colonialism. We talk about how Capek was deeply influenced by what was happening in eastern Europe. And I focus on how Capek satirizes literally everyone, especially Americans. I then teach R.U.R. to think about AI

I have literally taught this book in my Intro class in a Literature department the past six semesters. I think I am going to scrap it for the Spring though for some of the reasons on this thread.

Increasingly, I am worried about a world where students use AI to do their work and teachers use AI to respond to that work. Who learns and who teaches in that situation?

[Dr. Spencer J Smith @Spencealot]

I'm working on designing an English Literature class and I am interested in including texts by writers of color that deal with artificial intelligence. Do communities here have any suggestions?

The internet is a bad archive system.

Reading a textbook from 2006 with online content that is no longer accessible is like sailing an ocean using maps that show islands where now there is only water.
