Have no fear, Nathan. The NYT says that "AI isn't here to replace us...it's here to help us become 'superteachers'." Ghastly blather delivered in (AI-generated?) cut-and-paste corporate-speak. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/s...
Screen shot from a New York Times article that reads: Artificial intelligence has the same potential to revolutionize education by enhancing teachers’ capabilities and enabling them to tailor learning paths to individual students in ways we never thought possible. This potential for transformation is amplified when A.I. is integrated with digital education, giving it real-time access to rich data on how students are learning.

It’s natural to worry about change. The unknown often feels like a threat. But history has taught us an undeniable lesson: Instinctually building walls to protect ourselves only delays the inevitable. Those walls will be climbed, and they will fall. Adaptability, not defense, is the greatest skill we can have to stay relevant in a constantly evolving world. For teachers like me, this means dismissing doomsday predictions and reframing our mind-set: A.I. isn’t here to replace us; if used responsibly, it’s here to help us become “superteachers.”
