Marina Moskowitz @profmoskowitz.bsky.social · 07/09/2026At our first class, I asked students to write on a notecard, anonymously, if and how they use AI and why. One responded: ‘As someone in the humanities my job is to think, question & write—I can and should (and enjoy) do(ing) it. I don’t need a robot to do that for me.’ The kids are alright… 063
