For Those About To Cheat…
Regardless, when a learner hands in work they didn’t do, there’s no way to assess how far they’ve come, or what else they need in order to get where they need to go. You can’t celebrate achievements that aren’t theirs, and you can’t fix problems that aren’t identified.
When The Tech Makes You Feel Bad About Yourself
The possibility of “delegating” doesn’t instil in me a sense of relief at having extra time to do other things, nor does it impress me with its capabilities. Instead, it makes me feel…small. There are instances when I’m overcome with feelings of being insignificant, irrelevant, obsolete, disposable. My sense of self-worth, my confidence as an artist and an educator, my pride in all the hours I’ve put in honing my craft, all shrink just a little.

I cannot tell a lie. I’ve made the acquaintance of our future AI overlords, and I’ve been playing with ChatGPT. I’ve used it for bits of work, asked it silly questions, and pushed it to see how far it would go and what it would do. And, true to form for a philosophy geek, I’ve spent a great deal of time puzzling over how this tool is going to change things in our already mixed-up, discombobulated world.
