The concept of "AI slop" highlights the imbalance in effort between creators and consumers of content generated by artificial intelligence. As production becomes effortless, the burden shifts to the consumer. #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation#AIEdu#AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu

In Processes are More Important than Prompts, Leon Furze argues that "prompt engineering" has become less important as GenAI technologies have matured. #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation#AIEdu#AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu #Podcast

The text-box and blinking cursor of GenAI chatbot interfaces is the main thing holding us back from exploring their use. Did you know AI can do... that? #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation#AIEdu#AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu #EduSky

Resistance as a Framework for Combating Cognitive Offload The post discusses the necessity of resistance in using AI for education, comparing it to physical training. While generative AI can lead to cognitive laziness, integrating resistance can help maintain learning integrity. The author…

Oi, so I made a thing. It's a simple close reading annotation tool that works by encoding all the data into the URL. No cloud, no logins, no permissions. Just copy/paste/annotate/share. Give it a whirl @ readcloser.com and lmk what you think #english #writing #education

Excellent guidance here from @leonfurze.com and basically what I've been saying from the start. You don't need a specific policy on AI. Look at what you already have in place - technology use agreements, academic integrity, etc.

The Discoverability Problem in GenAI means users are often unaware of capabilities due to poor UX. If the tech won't change, we need new mental models #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation#AIEdu#AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu

Your school, university, or business doesn't need an AI policy: you need to figure out what AI adds to the policies you already have. #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation#AIEdu#AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu

"I think what we’re going to need, more than anything else, is human experts who are passionate, beyond all reason, about their disciplines. This has to be true of teachers and students alike." Indeed. #skolechat #dkforsk

Great insights. The concept of Metis (aka sailor smarts) is important when we think about differentiation with what AI and humas can each do well. This makes me think of Horizon scanning as well and the shift from 'prediction' to 'awareness of signals'.

New post: Expert Signals. I've been thinking about what human experts actually do that AI can't, drawing on James C. Scott's distinction between techne and metis. Read more... #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation#AIEdu#AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu
