I think people in general fear major change...I liken it to Canva - it allowed the people who need design help in a more DIY way to get that help, but it didn't spell the end of graphic designers.
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.
I agree, the fear is heavy around AI. I've been writing a plan for how to present this to my child's principal. Have you seen this? Scroll down to the video: https://openai.com/chatgpt/education/
To explain to the students that AI is just a tool and would never replace their ability to think and feel, or to express those thought and feelings. To never default to regurgitated information, and to seek ways to enrich and improve it. And to join the school orchestra to keep developing their brains, fine motor control and discipline 😊 (I’m a music teacher and not too worried AI would make us redundant)
We need more people (and teachers) who think like this. No point burying our heads in the sand about AI.
I'm not sure why it's so heavily feared.

Great analogy!
