GREAT read from @benjaminjriley.bsky.social ! Fantastic exmplainer with implications for teachers/administrators! My fav. sentence = "Yet... many educators are rushing to embrace the use of AI despite the obvious damage they are doing to actual learning."

Fascinating perspective on "AI" and music. Got me thinking about discussions of "AI" in education, writing, etc. Worth watching. Thanks @adamneely.bsky.social .
