My feelings about AI continue to evolve. I came across two things that caught my eye (and brain) this week. The first was a paper by Microsoft Research that discusses the impact of using AI tools like ChatGPT on critical thinking skills. Spoiler alert: It’s not good for critical thinking.

The latest episode of Search Engine, one of my favorite podcasts, delves into the use of AI tools by high school students and the impact of these technologies on teaching English and writing. I was listening to this one with my 12-year-old daughter, pausing throughout the podcast to discuss the topic.
