@it_se @S_J_Lancaster @LTHEchat Always used the gym analogy when faced with this. Can you deliver a new body please. I can wait .....

@S_J_Lancaster @LTHEchat My challenge with this is when I continually hear especially at PGT level, ‘I pay you a lot of money to deliver what I need so why should I create it?’ What do we do?

Q5 What innovations, changes or emerging trends in higher education do you think will have the biggest impact in the next decade? #LTHEchat Reply with A5 #LTHEChat and your response

@santanuvasant @KiuSum @WarwickLanguage @S_J_Lancaster @ProfSallyBrown @ChrisHeadleand @chrissinerantzi @scholastic_rat @it_se @DeenaI @ProfWGarnham @DebbieHolley1 @debbaff @David_T_Evans @MargyMacLibrary @AlisonEntEv Or a notebook podcast even?

Maybe we should ask a Large Language Model #GenAI #LTHEChat (it could be a collective Google Doc collaboration too #BeMoreHuman)

#LTHEchat A2 too many to mention but the list includes @santanuvasant @ChrisHeadleand @chrissinerantzi @scholastic_rat @S_J_Lancaster @it_se @DeenaI @ProfWGarnham @DebbieHolley1 @debbaff @David_T_Evans @profpeterbrad @MargyMacLibrary @AlisonEntEv and…and….

@LTHEchat @debbaff @SFaulknerPandO @tavoer8 Many thanks for this. A wonderful surprise. Irony strikes though - tweets not loading at the moment .... hope to join you later

We are delighted to award the Golden Tweeter award to @debbaff @SFaulknerPandO @tavoer8 and @profpeterbrad for their outstanding contribution to the #LTHEchat community and social open learning.

@MartinRich106 @santanuvasant @RosBeaumont @LTHEchat And does anyone have a working strategy for sustainable use of GenAI in their subject area?

@santanuvasant @RosBeaumont @LTHEchat And of course GenAI creates all sorts of environmental issues, as indeed does Blockchain to name another recent trend, because of the computing power needed to support it & consequent demand for electricity #LTHEchat

Q1 From your perspective what is the aim of ESD?  Reply with A1 #LTHEChat and your response

@james_youdale So don’t you think it would be fair to say that HE doesn’t have a sensible or workable strategy at the moment to achieve sustainable development of GenAI?

@santanuvasant @LTHEchat Have a look at NotebookLM from Google. Be interested to hear what you make of it

@profpeterbrad @LTHEchat Yes very true Peter, my mind still goes to text for GenAI, but I know it’s more than that. #LTHEChat

Q4 Does the rise of GenAI mean that critical thinking skills are no longer important for students (and educators)?  Reply with A4 #LTHEChat and your response

#LTHEChat A6 At last , I can say yes. But there is an important caveat - depends how it is used.

@suebecks @LTHEchat Sounds like a good idea for a session at the forthcoming FREE SEDA online conference,

@LTHEchat A2 No! we alll need to learn how best to/not to use use #LTHEchat

Q2 Is banning the use of GenAI in education a viable and enforceable long-term solution?  Reply with A2 #LTHEChat and your response

@DrPaulKleiman Your impeccable grammar was obviously the problem

A5. Absolutely not. I tested it. Wrote an entirely original piece on assessment. Asked ChatGPT to write piece on same topic. AI detector immediately identified ChatGPT as AI generated. BUT also identified mine as ‘possibly AI generated’. Moral: don’t write well! #LTHEChat

@james_youdale Thought I might at last be able to answer ‘yes’ to a question. Another illusion shattered.

#LTHEChat A5 No. And what level of error in the diagnosis of cheating are you prepared to accept?

@S_J_Lancaster And it still struggles with spelling …

A4 I had cause to ask co-pilot to create a pen picture (of me) and turn that into an image - there is so much that critical appraisal of this photo red flags - fun though #lthechat

@santanuvasant @LTHEchat Also lot of opportunities to diagnose misleading images.

@LTHEchat A4 No, quite the opposite, why not use output from GenAI to teach your students about critical thinking skills, by using the often BS it generates, this could be part of an assessment task too. #LTHEChat

@Emmadw @LTHEchat I think some parts of HE could be more easily threatened than primary. GenAI is already having some surprising effects in some sectors.

@LTHEchat #LTHEchat #A3 - maybe, for specialised cases e.g. people in the work place looking to enhance their skill set; if we're talking primary education. Never replace, I hope. Higher Education - not in the near future, longer term, perhaps

Q3 Will AI (and GenAI) completely replace human educators in the near future?  Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response

@LydiaJArnold @Nige1980 @LTHEchat Already happening?

@Nige1980 @LTHEchat Presumably, accuracy will improve in time (re the hallucinations, not the compassion) #LTHEChat

#LTHEChat A4 I feel a certain repetition in the air. No, again. To use GenAI effectively you have to become more critical and analytic.

@LarkinsJo @LTHEchat So we have to get in quick before the design is taken away!

@LTHEchat Q3 #LTHEchat Not if the educators are designing education. GenAI has amazing potential as a tutor and educational helpmate for established and known basics. But education is about meta learning, self regulation, interpersonal ability, skill building, critical thinking, creativity

@DrKristandl @LTHEchat Think I would say ‘may’ in the last sentence. I think some institutions will be less enlightened

@LTHEchat A3: Glad to see big NOs! Not anytime soon! AI can enhance learning with personalized feedback, but it can't replace human nuance, experience, empathy, & adaptability. The future lies in human-AI collaboration, not replacement. AI will augment, not eliminate, educators. #lthechat

@Nige1980 @LTHEchat But what if the bean-counters take over the educational system?

@LTHEchat A3 not a chance. Bias, hallucinations, fabrications, no understanding, no compassion…I could go on. #LTHEchat

#LTHEChat A3 Not unless we let it! We need to develop systems where humans are the indispensable centre
