tanteI think the most tragic aspect of deploying "AI" in teaching and learning situations is how much it pushes people into a situation of learned helplessness. This constant feeling of not knowing how to do a thing of being incapable of actually doing work on one's tasks is mentally so harmful. How do people under those conditions gain confidence in their abilities? Like ever?
Jerald W Blackstock@tante AI is a research tool. ALL learning is research.
foundseed@JeraldBlackstockArt @tante could you explain why you define it using the word research? How is it a research tool?
@foundseed High-profile applications of AI include advanced web search engines (e.g., Google Search); recommendation systems (used by YouTube, Amazon, and Netflix); virtual assistants (e.g., Google Assistant, Siri, and Alexa); autonomous vehicles (e.g., Waymo); generative and creative tools (e.g., ChatGPT and AI art) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence
@JeraldBlackstockArt you provided like one and a half research tools on that list. AI "art" isn't a research tool. Neither is the YouTube fash recommendation pipeline. That one's almost an anti-research tool.
@foundseed "AI "art" isn't a research tool. " All art is research. As for the others things a tool is only as good as the person using it for their particular satisfaction.
