Cheaper than the average human
Stop comparing the output of generative with the best human. Most people in the world don’t have access to the best human. In many cases, they don’t have access to any expertise, let alone the best human expert. AI doesn’t have to be better than the best human to be successful. It only has to…

I disagree. Beyond ’10 myths’ of AI in education
In this post, I critique a recent paper on AI myths in education, arguing that it presents unfounded ‘myths’ without evidence and uses outdated studies to support its claims. The author’s tendency to conflate different AI concepts is also disappointing and unhelpful, and the article fails to clarify important ideas about AI in education.

Beyond silos: AI as a personal knowledge management system
The future of personal knowledge management lies beyond siloed note-taking apps. We need a system that integrates information across various platforms and formats, creating meaningful connections in our fragmented digital lives. Whether through browser-based solutions, operating system integration, or local AI models, the goal is a seamless, intelligent layer that unifies our entire digital ecosystem.

This is about control, not learning
A model describing 6 levels of autonomy for personalised learning. Except, the model actually describes 6 levels of control, split between teachers and AI, ignoring the student completely. Let’s rather build a model for integrating AI into learning, where we recognise the agency of learners.

Avoiding the busy-work of AI-generated assessment submissions
Traditional assessments are probably obsolete due to AI (for teachers and students), presenting an opportunity to shift towards a paradigm that evaluates students’ ability to apply knowledge and create impact using AI as a supportive tool, rather than simply memorising information.

Large Language Models as Moral Experts?
The general consensus among most people has been that human values will forever be the domain of human beings, and not AI. This paper seems to suggest that moral judgement may not be off-limits to machines after all.
