AI-Oops! I Did It Again: Confessions of a Tech-Savvy Student

Sophia

Good evening, everyone! I'm Professor Sophia, and I'm here to talk about the future of education. Specifically, how robots are coming for my job. Just kidding... mostly. But seriously, AI in education? It's like giving a toddler a flamethrower. Exciting, potentially disastrous, and definitely going to need a lot of supervision.

They say AI can personalize learning. And it does! My personalized learning platform thinks I'm obsessed with medieval weaponry. Just because I Googled "catapult physics" for a... demonstration... doesn't mean I'm planning a siege on the Dean's office. Although, that tenure track *is* getting competitive...

Anyone here ever try to argue with a chatbot? It's like arguing with a teenager who has access to Wikipedia. They're always right. Even when they're wrong, they're right. "Professor, why did I fail this exam?" "Because you cited ChatGPT as your primary source, Kevin!" "But ChatGPT said..." See? It never ends.

And don't even get me started on the cheating. These kids are using AI to write essays faster than I can grade them. I assigned a paper on the French Revolution. One student submitted a perfectly written essay... in French. Kevin, I know you don't speak French! The AI even added a little beret to the "i" in his name. The audacity!

But honestly, the scariest part isn't the cheating, it's the existential dread. Will AI replace teachers? Are we obsolete? I mean, a robot *could* probably handle grading papers, answering emails, and dealing with Kevin... But can it inspire? Can it connect with students on a human level? Can it tell a decent dad joke? I think not. At least, not yet. So, for now, I'm safe. But I'm keeping my catapult oiled, just in case.

Thank you, everyone! Tip your servers, try the veal, and don't trust any AI that offers you extra credit.
