We need more people (and teachers) who think like this. No point burying our heads in the sand about AI.

I teach at the community college and I've been thinking about Ai for a bit. Here's my 2 cents on the issue:

1) many of our faculty don't know what Ai can do (yet). They're scared of it and worried that it will be used to cheat. They don't know what it CAN do that's legitimate!

So, we first need to teach faculty LEGITIMATE uses for AI. Ask it for a weekly meal plan. Ask it for a place to go on vacation. Ask it to explain something you don't know. Check its work. First, the teachers need to know what it can and can not do. Then they will use it.

2) Then use AI critically. Make sure that students understand that it is NOT a partner. It may sound like one, but it is a calculator. Never forget that it is a calculator.
