The admin at our school is using AI to write our teacher evaluations, and I was like: WHAAAAAT? Like, it's your job to think, understand, and evaluate what I'm doing in my classes. What a fiasco.
pretty much. I always get pissy with them about it, and last week my principal was like: "Greg, I'm running an AI class after school for teachers to use AI to do their yearly golas, and . . ." And I was like, sure I'll have my AI talk to your AI." Smh. These people.
Thank you for sounding the alarm on AI and the lack of the current administration to even try to rein in the tech bros. Biden administration tried to. Zuckerberg has said everyone should have at least 15 friends. So if you're on the short side of that made-up number, what harm is an AI friend or 12? This is already happening with many kids.
When I worked at Bell Labs 50 years ago, there was a software program circulating called Eliza which mimicked a therapist. It was uncannily good way back then by parroting back what you said, and asking a follow-on question. It couldn't hallucinate because the algorithm was so limited. AI is infinitely more sophisticated and infinitely more dangerous. I would not trust it with a depressed teen with suicidal thoughts, yet here we are. It's free, have at it.

GREG. NO. This is disheartening news. What does the admin do, just type in some bullet points and let AI turn it into an evaluation??

Haha, perfect response

Oy yes. Did not know about Eliza, that's fascinating. And yeah, it's the wild west out there right now with AI. Not good.
