So, this is a thing…

Jon Dron's post moves in two directions, as does most discussion in the field. On the one hand, it tracks the development of AI-generated student essays being marked by AI systems, with classes taught by AI teachers. "The result is going to be a set of ever-worse copies of copies," he says. On the other hand, the desirable path is "about people, learning to be people, in the presence of and through interaction with other people... about creativity, compassion, and meaning." I don't think the AI picture is as dystopian as h projects, nor is the humanitarian picture as utopian. AI can help feed and educate the world, while humans are responsible for cruelty and war. We in education need to situate ourselves in this reality, and not pine for some pastoral past that never existed for most of us.
