Critical Thinking about AI Results

There's a really nice one-two punch in this post, making it dramatically worth sharing. Amid " new information about OpenAI releasing a guide for teachers," writes Miguel Guhlin, "Geetha Venugopal... advises students to remember that the answers that ChatGPT gives may not be credible and accurate all the time, and to think critically about whether they should trust the answer, and then confirm the information through other primary resources." Well, sure. But "one supposes that teaching critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity skills was essential WITHOUT a focus on AI or even needing to bring AI into the equation," writes Guhlin. And "shouldn't we have been critically evaluating the information being spoon fed to us in K-12 U.S. history books?" Education, after all, has long served the twin goals of enlightenment and propaganda... and not always in that order.
