Emma Gray @em-gray.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Ooh! I don’t disagree with him about the enemies, but I don’t see AI as necessarily worsening this. In many cases, it can raise the cognitive bar – time I’d spend making an output “good enough” on my own is now spent tearing “good enough” outputs apart, challenging my own assumptions, and iterating. 010

Reposted by Emma GrayDiana L. Rendina @dianalrendina.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Media Literacy is a huge part of learning about AI. Filters on TikTok, deepfake videos, photos that are automatically altered and stitched together in your phone camera. Our students need to be able to understand how to identify what is real. #tlsky #FAME24 23310
