If AI is going to take over your (future) job, why do all students need to learn #AI at school? #AIParadox

So far ChatGPT-5 sounds like a merger, not a big step from 4.5. We'll see after the benchmark bunting has been removed. It is striking though that the language prior to its release is less frantic than GPT-3. www.theverge.com/notepad-micr... #AI #GPT

Schools teaching prompting, teach a temporal gimmick. The way we use AI might be completely different in three years' time. Teach students to read and write well, to critically assess information, and by doing so they also learn how to prompt well. #education #AI #EduSky

I see so many books being published about 'Teaching with AI', maybe I should write one with the title "Teaching Without AI in the Age of AI" #AI #EduSky #education
