I have never been afraid of technology, never given in to the scaremongering of most sci-fi movies, where AI poses a grave danger to humankind, if not is the inevitable demise of our civilisation.
I have always embraced Ed-tech and I couldn’t be more grateful for the pandemic forsomehow forcing us teachers to embrace technology and make the most of it.
At the same time I am acutely aware of the drawbacks of technology, and how it can enable academic dishonesty, lead to social media addictions etc.
Yet I have never thought AI will ever replace teachers. Until the moment I read this article: ‘College essay is dead’ here.
I gave it a go and wrote the following English B prompt
You have just graduated from high school and want to write to other teens, and their parents, about what you have decided to do after graduating. Write a text in which you state your decision and explain it to them.
And this is the essay it produced instantaneously!
It is not a masterpiece, but it is decent.
I don’t know about you, but I am seriously worried my job will soon be totally useless and become obsolete.
Thoughts?
