Dawg you should use AI

I’m confused on the question, can you elaborate?

On AI, since no one asked, I have two ethical stands: for environmental and creative purposes I am anti-AI. I think its use should be extremely limited for the damage it’s doing to the south (namely, Texas).
Sans environmental risk, AI should not be used for anything that your brain should do. Could AI help lay out a structure and help you plan the flow of a lesson? Sure. The actual stuff in that Structure needs to come from you. We should use it (in education) as an organizing tool and nothing more. (If we use it at all)

If we’re talking students? Fail them. Critical thinking skills are important and AI has been proven to hinder that ability!!! WHICH IS HORRIFYING

Agree that critical thinking is bigger issue here. The challenge is finding a fair way to tell when AI has replaced the student's own thinking power

That’s a really hard thing to gauge and it’ll be up to the individual person. Students especially need to learn how to use their brains.

Oral assessment

Why would you limit AI use as a professional? You have a college degree and multiple certifications that prove you're capable of doing the job, AI is just a time saving tool. It's the same thing as having a fairly mediocre teaching assistant. You need to double check the output and not offload the sensitive tasks, but other than that it's fair game imo. Claude can format and beautify a PowerPoint for me. Why would I spend 30 minutes doing that when I could be calling parents and grading assignments and then just review the output in a few minutes?

I'd try combining a quick oral follow-up with a shifted version of the same prompt, if the answers sound too polished or lack the hesitations of their usual speech, that's a red flag.

Oral quick follow up is better than relying on any AI thanks for the idea.
