@cpaterso @emollick @mrdavidhoward What blows my mind is that it can take multimodal inputs (image of the task, markups on the image, live video, text, and audio) and simultaneously process all of it whilst responding appropriately to abstract concepts. Our 5 senses are so limited in comparison. 🤯

There are a ton of little things that could be improved to make this a better tutor... but it is impossible to watch this video & not see a coming transformation in education, given this is GPT-4o out of the box. We need to decide how to integrate it into education, starting now

@cpaterso @sjtylr @JiahuiLuo_Jess @mrdavidhoward This is the main fear I had about so-called AI detectors whilst ppl were funding their development. We had lots of healthy, heated arguments back then!

@davecormier Thanks! I’m told that I have @cpaterso to thank for the gift. He is the one who brought your AI one-pager to my attention 😊

@RayNashar ha! I hope you enjoy the rest of it :) funny coincidence.

@davecormier I got to work this morning to find this in my desk! The opening story about the letter h is hilarious. Looking fwd to the rest.

@davecormier Good call. A one pager is my preference in creating written resources, too. It's an art to be able to simplify the complex and I can see you're skilled in that.

@RayNashar I'm trying to work it into one page... balance between being useful and making it so detailed that no one will ever read it... :P Thanks for adding your ideas.

I've got a draft of prompting advice for GenAI... anyone wanna add some comments and help me make it better. I realize this is more of a twitter question, but I'm feeling nostalgic. docs.google.com/document/d/1mh…

You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is? Wrong direction. I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

@cpaterso Saw this on LinkedIn and wondered...

While workplace trends such as “quiet quitting” and the “great resignation” have been the subject of significant commentary and analysis, the quiet movement of young people out of our education system has not garnered the same attention." theeducatoronline.com/k12/news/opini…

O Captain. My Captain.

AI video generation is getting shockingly good. In a couple of years, anyone will be able to create a movie from a smartphone- we're entering a whole new era of film. Here are some of the best examples I've seen:

Director of Learning, @cpaterso, and Head of Digital Learning and Practice, David Howard, sat down with @teacherACER magazine to share the development of an exciting technological initiative this year: Wesmigo, our pre-engineered #AI chatbot tool!

I told a student last wk that the work they do in the class is for them, not for me. They said, “That kind of blows my mind.” We’ve taught S’s to 🙃learn for the teacher (& points, grades, credits, credentials) to the pt that it rarely occurs to them they cd learn for themselves

@mrdavidhoward @cpaterso Human in the loop 👍👍

Human input when using AI to create feedback is an “indispensable, limited resource,” say the researchers. @cpaterso @RayNashar gse.harvard.edu/ideas/usable-k…

Wesmigo is a pre-engineered chatbot tool which has been specifically designed for use in schools, with age-appropriate prompts aimed at developing students’ skills and confidence using AI tools to achieve specific learning tasks. teachermagazine.com/au_en/articles…

Film is a medium that uniquely incorporates elements from all of the others and gives us its own distinct elements.
