Am I alone in reading about sophisticated AI and wondering what it will change for education and everything else? For disclosure, I am hyper-literate, married to a clever dyslexic and mother to another clever dyslexic. It really shifts the definition of intelligence when being able to write very well is no longer a filter for ability. Teachers are wondering how to evaluate ability, according to the Atlantic? The Sunday Times used it today to generate an editorial piece. Any opinions?

It's really hard to imagine how it is gong to change a lot of things, especially as they are due to launch a version which is meant to be 300X better early next year.

My DS has already used it to help him solve (in seconds) a coding problem he had been struggling with for over a week and I have heard that other people have been using it fairly effectively for free therapy - it's range of uses has the potential to be huge, for better or worse.

Sorry if this seems pedantic but that is NOT therapy. Advice, maybe.

Therapy is about the attention and presence of another human. You can’t get it from an AI.

Some of my students got it to write their essays for them and now they have to do their writing in front of me, which is not the most effective use of class time but I refuse to sit and mark the writing of a robot!

You can use it to mark their exams too.

I feel really uneasy about it. There's been something very human about thoughts on a page - great literature, love letters, dear John letters, agony aunt type stuff - since we began. I don't want to give that up. Already at work someone has been singing its praises and suggesting we don't try to write something ourselves but use it.
