Shaped like information

hey look it's a guide to basic shapes!

The fact that even a kindergartener can call out this DALL-E3 generated image as nonsense doesn't mean that it's an unusually bad example of AI-generated imagery. It's just what happens when the usual AI-generated information intersects with an area where most people are experts.

i teach english as a foreign language to corporate clients. What that means is that companies hire the school i contract for to enrol their employees in courses that include a run of online grammar, vocabulary, listening, and reading exercises; accompanying speaking classes with a teacher (that's where i come in); and supplementary "skills" exercises including writing.

the *only* one of these that matters to their ultimate success or failure in their course is the online exercises. That's bad for a number of reasons i won't bore you with but tl;dr the students "pass" the class if they complete the online course.

which means that the supplementary writing exercises have ZERO impact on their success or failure. They aren't even required. The ONLY reason to complete them is to practice writing as a skill and get feedback from a teacher (me et al). Mistakes are corrected but never criticised. This isn't a scenario where anyone loses face by using the wrong preposition or verb tense. It's an opportunity to practice and improve, that's all.

and yet. Increasingly i am getting writing assignments that are clearly, obviously written by genAI. They are grammatically flawless in a way that is impossible for students at the levels i teach to produce. Which means there's nothing to correct. No feedback to give. No learning opportunity whatsoever.

my school's policy is just to ignore this. Our students aren't students in the traditional sense, they are clients. More precisely, they're employees of clients but the effect is the same. Their employers are paying us for the expertise, guidance, etc that we can provide and if they choose not to make full use of what we offer then that's their call.

still it pisses me off. Because why. Why use genAI to complete an optional exercise that has no impact on your ultimate course success? There is zero reason to do that. No benefit to anyone. The students learn nothing and i get paid to make up some bullshit "feedback" to a paragraph i know the student didn't write. Why? Why waste all our time with an obvious farce?

(i mean, i know why. Because it's easy. Because they believe that the product and not the process is what's important. Because they don't want to learn, they want to have learned. They are the ones who are always trying to get me to reveal some secret magic trick that will make them able to speak perfectly without them putting any effort into it whatsoever. They are, if i tell the stark honest truth, on the whole not people i can help.)

this is, ultimately, why i am against any and all use of genAI in education. Full stop. There's simply no pedagogical benefit to it. The learning process involves trying, failing, receiving correction, and then trying again. Over and over and over if necessary. We have already seriously damaged this process by caring only about results--test scores, essay marks, etc, achieved by any means necessary--and forgetting both as students and teachers that failure (or at least not perfect success the very first time) is an essential element of learning. Use of genAI skips over the learning process entirely. It basically finishes what years of over-testing and grade inflation started. It's bad and it's wrong and it accomplishes nothing other than giving people more of an excuse not to think for themselves, not to try, not to learn.

it needs to be stopped.

[sempermoi]

Rant about generative AI in education and in general under the cut because I'm worried and frustrated and I needed to write it out in a small essay:

So, context: I am a teacher in Belgium, Flanders. I am now teaching English (as a second language), but have also taught history and Dutch (as a native language). All in secondary education, ages 12-16.

More and more I see educational experts endorse ai being used in education and of course the most used tools are the free, generative ones. Today, one of the colleagues responsible for the IT of my school went to an educational lecture where they once again vouched for the use of ai.

Now their keyword is that it should always be used in a responsible manner, but the issue is... can it be?

1. Environmentally speaking, ai has been a nightmare. Not only does it have an alarming impact on emission levels, but also on the toxic waste that's left behind. Not to mention the scarcity of GPUs caused by the surge of ai in the past few years. Even sources that would vouch for ai have raised concerns about the impact it has on our collective health. sources: here, here and here

2. Then there's the issue with what the tools are trained on and this in multiple ways:

Many of the free tools that the public uses is trained on content available across the internet. However, it is at this point common knowledge (I'd hope) that most creators of the original content (writers, artists, other creative content creators, researchers, etc.) were never asked for permission and so it has all been stolen. Many social media platforms will often allow ai training on them without explicitly telling the user-base or will push it as the default setting and make it difficult for their user-base to opt out. Deviantart, for example, lost much of its reputation when it implemented such a policy. It had to backtrack in 2022 afterwards because of the overwhelming backlash. The problem is then that since the content has been ripped from their context and no longer made by a human, many governments therefore can no longer see it as copyrighted. Which, yes, luckily also means that ai users are legally often not allowed to pass off ai as 'their own creation'. Sources: here, here

Then there's the working of generative ai in general. As said before, it simply rips words or image parts from their original, nuanced context and then mesh it together without the user being able to accurately trace back where the info is coming from. A tool like ChatGPT is not a search engine, yet many people use it that way without realising it is not the same thing at all. More on the working of generative ai in detail. Because of how it works, it means there is always a chance for things to be biased and/or inaccurate. If a tool has been trained on social media sources (which ChatGPT for example is) then its responses can easily be skewed to the demographic it's been observing. Bias is an issue is most sources when doing research, but if you have the original source you also have the context of the source. Ai makes it that the original context is no longer clear to the user and so bias can be overlooked and go unnoticed much easier. Source: here

3. Something my colleague mentioned they said in the lecture is that ai tools can be used to help the learning of the students.

Let me start off by saying that I can understand why there is an appeal to ai when you do not know much about the issues I have already mentioned. I am very aware it is probably too late to fully stop the wave of ai tools being published.

There are certain uses to types of ai that can indeed help with accessibility. Such as text-to-voice or the other way around for people with disabilities (let's hope the voice was ethically begotten).

But many of the other uses mentioned in the lecture I have concerns with. They are to do with recognising learning, studying and wellbeing patterns of students. Not only do I not think it is really possible to data-fy the complexity of each and every single student you would have as they are still actively developing as a young person, this also poses privacy risks in case the data is ever compromised. Not to mention that ai is often still faulty and, as it is not a person, will often still make mistakes when faced with how unpredictable a human brain can be. We do not all follow predictable patterns.

The lecture stated that ai tools could help with neurodivergency 'issues'. Obviously I do not speak for others and this next part is purely personal opinion, but I do think it important to nuance this: as someone with auDHD, no ai-tool has been able to help me with my executive dysfunction in the long-term. At first, there is the novelty of the app or tool and I am very motivated. They are often in the form of over-elaborate to-do lists with scheduled alarms. And then the issue arises: the ai tries to train itself on my presented routine... except I don't have one. There is no routine to train itself on, because that is my very problem I am struggling with. Very quickly it always becomes clear that the ai doesn't understand this the way a human mind would. A professionally trained in psychology/therapy human mind. And all I was ever left with was the feeling of even more frustration.

In my opinion, what would help way more than any ai tool would be the funding of mental health care and making it that going to a therapist or psychiatrist or coach is covered by health care the way I only have to pay 5 euros to my doctor while my health care provider pays the rest. (In Belgium) This would make mental health care much more accessible and would have a greater impact than faulty ai tools.

4. It was also said that ai could help students with creative assignments and preparing for spoken interactions both in their native language as well as in the learning of a new one.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Creativity in its essence is about the person creating something from their own mind and putting the effort in to translate those ideas into their medium of choice. Stick figures on lined course paper are more creative than letting a tool like Midjourney generate an image based on stolen content. How are we teaching students to be creative when we allow them to not put a thought in what they want to say and let an ai do it for them?

And since many of these tools are also faulty and biased in their content, how could they accurately replace conversations with real people? Ai cannot fully understand the complexities of language and all the nuances of the contexts around it. Body language, word choice, tone, volume, regional differences, etc.

And as a language teacher, I can truly say there is nothing more frustrating than wanting to assess the writing level of my students, giving them a writing assignment where they need to express their opinion and write it in two tiny paragraphs... and getting an ai response back. Before anyone comes to me saying that my students may simply be very good at English. Indeed, but my current students are not. They are precious, but their English skills are very flawed. It is very easy to see when they wrote it or ChatGPT. It is not only frustrating to not being able to trust part of your students' honesty and knowing they learned nothing from the assignment cause you can't give any feedback; it is almost offensive that they think I wouldn't notice it.

5. Apparently, it was mentioned in the lecture that in schools where ai is banned currently, students are fearful that their jobs would be taken away by ai and that in schools where ai was allowed that students had much more positive interactions with technology.

First off, I was not able to see the source and data that this statement was based on. However, I personally cannot shake the feeling there's a data bias in there. Of course students will feel more positively towards ai if they're not told about all the concerns around it.

Secondly, the fact that in the lecture it was (reportedly) framed that being scared your job would disappear because of ai, was untrue is... infuriating. Because it already is becoming a reality. Let's not forget what partially caused the SAG-AFTRA strike in 2023. Corporations see an easy (read: cheap) way to get marketable content by using ai at the cost of the creative professionals. Unregulated ai use by businesses causing the loss of jobs for real-life humans, is very much a threat. Dismissing this is basically lying to young students.

6. My conclusion:

I am frustrated. It's clamoured that we, as teachers, should educate more about ai and it's responsible use. However, at the same time the many concerns and issues around most of the accessible ai tools are swept under the rug and not actively talked about.

I find the constant surging rise of generative ai everywhere very concerning and I can only hope that more people will start seeing it too.

Thank you for reading.

"I did do the work! By telling it what to do!"

Hello? You issued orders, so that's the same as doing it yourself?

"Not to worry, I gave my servant only the STRICTEST instructions in how she should write this. She's very smart and obedient, so I'm sure it's all there. An A for me, yes?" is insufferable little child prince/princess behavior.

It doesn't really matter whether the servant you commanded to make the thing is human or not; I mean, AI users feel that AI is an intelligent, human-like tool "just as good" at thinking and writing as actual people, good enough to FULLY REPLACE their own writing or thinking, so… by their own standards, they just forced another "person" to do their work and then took the credit*. Yeah?

Whether you think of it as using your servant, your friend, the nerd at school you're beating up, someone you're hiring, whatever-- none of those equations is something we've ever pretended is respectable in education. Why the exception for AI suddenly?

i keep seeing people everywhere sing the praises of ai and suggest using it for all sorts of things and it just makes me so sad and angry. college professors suggesting to use it. resume specialist suggesting using it to get your resume done. therapist saying they use it all the time for things. people saying it’s a legitimate accessibility aid. so many people who just have no criticism or qualms about ai. so many people who have been dazzled by it enough to not actually think about what it is and it’s impacts. at this point i’d rather people be actually educated about it but just disagree with me and not think that it’s a dangerous thing than have them just legitimately unaware. because at least then they know. they know what’s even happening. but so many people don’t, they just see some magic thing that can solve their problems without them having to think, and they use it. they don’t ever stop to think about what they’re doing or what they’re promoting. it just makes me sad.

Ai this ai that maybe stop and think for a second why college students are jumping to make their work easier or why they're so thoroughly disinterested in putting effort. Maybe, maybe their efforts are never respected? Maybe our education system quality has gone to shit that a simple language model can answer most of its questions? Students are always overworked to the point of destroying their health ten ways to Sunday. Maybe, maybe, we should focus on how to create a better learning environment for them in the first place. If all it took was a measly subpar AI model to destroy, the education world was never strong enough in the first place.

Calling the toxic and borderline abusive systems of college/university that exploits students day and night as "living" and shaming the kids who take an easier path .... Is not the hot take poetry they think it is.

I'm not supporting the use of genAI in university, but I definitely believe this shaming people for taking the easier way out isn't the best approach. Empathy and understanding for the student and getting creative with the work itself, evolving it to incorporate AI in useful, helpful ways to maintain the integrity of learning. That might just help save this generation.

Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.

[mssnoozable]

I can't tell if this person is saying that hw has been proven to be ineffective or that hw has not been researched to be effective. I'm not conceptually in favor of busy work. The best example of how hw can be done dynamically is khan academy. If you already know the subject it can take about 5 minutes to finish, if you don't, you could take up to an hour... of course, the biggest problem is for the "soft" subjects where we don't have an easy way to score it through a computer...

Ultimately, I think of hw as structured studying. There's very little pressure in elementary (at least in the US) to learn study tactics bc tests are crazy easy. I didn't feel challenged at anything until middle school. idk if hw really taught me to study, but it did kinda force me to study. I would arrogantly say I don't need to do hw in elementary and passed all the tests, I said the same thing in middle but didn't pass the tests. It was a tiny metric that could show progression.

Unfortunately, a lot of education is pomp and circumstance. I proposed once at our coding after school program that maybe it'd be more efficient to not make accounts for every kid when we do group stuff. The problem with that is that the parents might want to see their kid's progress, and if you don't have it saved then there is nothing to measure.

Even stuff like grades have some evidence of being bad for students... which I can kinda agree with when I heard the argument. Doing that would be an extreme upheaval of schools. But then we have to ask what school even is for. If you can't measure someone's ability, how do you know that they are qualified for a job? How do you know if the teachers are properly teaching? Grades aren't for students, they are for everyone else.

I agree that there had been too much at one point. There was a lot of discourse when I was in high school abot kids just can't even get proper sleep. I think I even did a presentation on it at some point and advocated that school should start later. I think some schools did shift, but only by half an hour. There was a lot of consensus on the data but it's hard to make every parent drop their kid off at 9 when their job starts at 9. Kids are primarily dropped off here and can't just use public transport. School Buses are also available here, but you have to get up earlier than the average student bc the bus is way slower.

I also don't know why this person's post says at the end like teachers think "it's the children who are wrong". Maybe sometimes, the rhetoric isn't properly placed and accidentally gets directed at the kids. It's more like I get mad at kids when I tell them "don't use AI" and they just go "fuck you you can't tell me what to do" I don't blame kids for using the "tool" that many adults are using around them, I blame AI companies, school districts, and parents. Almost every teacher I talked to has the same sentiment. I haven't worked super long, but most of th.

I think ultimately a majority of teachers nowadays have their heart in the right place. I remember a few really grumpy jaded teachers (maybe I'm that to some of these troublesome kids). It 's just so many systemic things. Like I said, data showed school should start around 9:30-10. Teachers agreed. The district couldn't possibly follow through on that. I can confiscate phones, but the more times parents sue the district, the more times those parents win lawsuits, the more the district has a chilling effect on confiscation. There are so so many problems just like with any industry. I get that from the outside you can say all you want that hw is bad, but it doesn't help. If I grade kids who use AI they will all pretty much have the same scores. Maybe not 100% but close to the same. If they put in college applications that A doesn't mean anything anymore your GPA can't be a metric for college or anything else. Maybe the students don't care about this or the parents, but society at large still does.

Ultimately, I'd be fine with getting rid of hw or substantially slimming it down. The problem is kids use AI IN the classroom. Then when does the learning happen?! Teaching can't operate if you never force them to think. They don't read the question they might as well not even know what class it is. Literally even typing out the question is gone bc ai bots can parse images now so they just take a picture and then handwrite the answer in front of me. I could give 0 hw or the most hw and all the kids would still get the same grades.... Idk .... again if I was a proper teacher (I'm only a sub rn) and I could just ignore all this other stuff, I might consider no HW. I'd maybe try it for a semester and see how they do. I've shifted a bit on that from talking to @greenflamethegf. But I probably need to fight tooth and nail for something that might just give me more of a headache. You'd be fighting the principal, every parent whose kids have good grades in other classes, every parent whose kids have bad grades in other classes, the district policy on curriculum standards (might need to check that one), and other teachers (the kids will complain to their other teachers that they shouldn't get hw bc I don't give it).

I know this is rambly. My apologies, I don't tumblr. Hope you enjoy the text wall I guess.

A couple of years ago we were all terribly concerned about the fact that a lot of American high schools are assigning such crushing homework loads that some kids literally don't have enough time to eat or sleep (and all this in spite of the fact that there's no good evidence that assigning homework actually improves academic outcomes at the pre-university level), but now we're hearing stories about those same schools struggling to stop kids from using ChatGPT to write their essays and suddenly It's The Children Who Are Wrong. Like, do you think maybe there's a certain level of cause and effect in play here?

Historically, education was confined to textbooks, chalkboards, and traditional lecture methods. However, the advent of digital tools and the internet has redefined how information is accessed, shared, and retained. Students now have the ability to explore, practice, and master subjects using smart learning technology tools that adapt and respond to individual needs. This shift marks a paradigm change where personalized learning with AI is not a future concept but a present-day reality.

What sets the EduTech Era apart in this evolving landscape is its commitment to making education both engaging and effective. The platform’s AI algorithms are designed to assess each student’s performance and adapt the content accordingly, ensuring that learners are always working at an optimal level of challenge. Whether a student needs remedial support or is ready for advanced topics, the system intelligently adjusts the difficulty, pacing, and type of instruction provided. This adaptive approach not only boosts academic outcomes but also builds confidence and independence in young learners.

Beyond academics, EduTech Era’s technology also fosters critical 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, digital literacy, and creative thinking. Interactive simulations, story-based learning modules, and collaborative tasks allow students to explore real-world scenarios in a safe and stimulating environment. As a result, education becomes more than just rote memorization; it evolves into an engaging journey that empowers students to think critically, ask questions, and apply knowledge in meaningful ways.

EduTech Era has embraced this evolution by offering smart, tablet-based educational tools that blend AI, interactivity, and curriculum-aligned content to deliver an immersive learning experience.
