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?
Anthony DavidI have not seriously used "AI" for writing a paper or writing code. Being the generalist I am, I have dabbled broadly.
From my observations of others using "AI", I have seen good results where there is a strong understanding of what the goal is what steps are needed along the way, comparing results from different models and presenting the results that meet the goal.
in a teaching situation, there of course needs to be a good foundational knowledge among the teachers themselves. The other thing that needs to be encouraged is to having the classroom resources tro run models locally. Like all intensive computing, understanding efficiency is vital, Having more tokens in the model does not guarantee a significantly better result. I heard there is work on running models on a phone, so it should be doable as long as the goals are set appropriately.
