Adrian K. Jacobsen @songcrest.bsky.social · 29/07/2023Yes. Even with the best AIs you still need to know a lot about writing and the subject matter to be able to output a coherent piece of text, in my experience. At least for now. 010 0

Adrian K. Jacobsen @songcrest.bsky.social · 25/07/2023In my practice, I always strive to perceive situations from the student's perspective.
