The group Parents for AI Caution in Education Spaces is seeking signatures to demand a two-year pause on chatbots in Vancouver schools until better data is available.

Those ideas are spreading — but you might not get that impression if you listen to the federal government. Paris Marx writes.

Surrey Superintendent Mark Pearmain was interviewed on Global News.

We go through each of his arguments and debunk them. We also point out how he downplays the legitimate concerns of parents and tries to reframe the discussion of AI in schools.

I mean if I were a clever girl, I would suggest that BANNING your children from social media, while ACTIVELY trying to integrate a fascist "answer" machine whose "facts" are pre-determined by a nazi billionaire sociopath into your public education system was an effort to force young people to be nazis by controlling what information they have access to - and thus has very little to do with child welfare at all.

There's got to be a name for this kind of circle-ish justification for AI in classrooms. Hmmm...

4. In the interview the school superintendents repeated the classic talking point that "you can't put the genie back in the bottle."

AI in schools is _not_ inevitable. We can ask teachers not to use it. We can petition the govt to stop it.

3. The mental health effects of AI are also still unaddressed. Long-term exposure can cause psychosis, as the product suggests things further and further from reality.
