AI detection may be fueling the very behavior we’re trying to prevent. Better detection → better ways around it → better detection... Where does that arms race leave trust and transparency in the classroom? 🎧 More in our latest episode: bit.ly/4cC7Wmh #EduSky #AIEdu #AIinEducation

Generative AI has become prevalent in marketing, to the discomfort or disdain of many beholders. In the dining scene, the use of “AI slop menus,” as some consumers have dubbed them, can signify qualities people generally don’t want to associate with food. cnn.it/4qOalQx

AI slop stats from the NYT: TikTok auto-labeled 3B+ videos. Spotify pulled 75M spammy tracks. YouTube wiped 130k low-quality channels. Nearly half of X posts over 50 words are AI-written. That's a lot of slop. 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/17/t...

Best not to jump to conclusions before you post online. That was true before AI and is still true now. Of course there's more to this particular discussion, but that has to be a basic takeaway. futurism.com/artificial-i...

"Generative AI just demonstrates that schools have gotten so caught up in the points-grades-GPA game that students have lost sight of the real goal: learning." ➡️ Is AI the biggest problem, or is it that kids see grades as their goal rather than learning? #EduSKy #AiEDU edut.to/4sionKO

AI Isn’t the Main Problem—It Just Shows Us What That Problem Is
Students are chasing points and grades because that’s what the education system prioritizes, but we can guide them to focus on learning.

“Writing is thinking” is true; I learn so much when I admit I need to rip up most of a draft. But in spite of building revision stages into assignments, I think I’ve rarely led students to grasp this for themselves in a writing course. It takes a long project they care about, like a thesis. 1/2

A retro-style illustration of a robot dressed as Uncle Sam is pointing forward while holding a sign. The robot wears a dark blue suit, red bowtie, and a stars-and-stripes top hat. Text on the sign reads: “WE NEED YOU, ASSESSMENT COMMUNITY.” Overlaid on the upper left is the title text: “Ctrl+Alt+Assess: Rebooting Learning for the GenAI Era.” The image mimics classic U.S. Army recruitment posters, reimagined for the generative AI and education assessment context.

This paper confirms my belief that figuring out how to effectively employ LLMs at scale in education is one of the most important research problems of the day (and no, the answer is not “replace teachers with AI”) Huge potential returns, and the worst case use of AI is already happening in schools.

Text Shot: However, academic consensus regarding its efficacy remains elusive. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of ChatGPT in improving students’ learning performance, learning perception, and higher-order thinking through a meta-analysis of 51 research studies published between November 2022 and February 2025. The results indicate that ChatGPT has a large positive impact on improving learning performance (g = 0.867) and a moderately positive impact on enhancing learning perception (g = 0.456) and fostering higher-order thinking (g = 0.457).
