A.I. is 'indoctrination'

A.I. now in the classroom (Castanet, March 16, 2025)

Most adults reading (this website) were educated by humans who wrote on a blackboards with chalk.

They questioned students about their comprehension and responded to their questions with, perhaps, further questions of their own to encourage their students to think through for an answer— brain to brain engagement.

Readers remember with fondness those teachers and credit them with the person they eventually became. I know because I was one of them, both a receiver and, later, a giver.

Who's going to remember the flickery images or tinny voice of A.I.?

God help the teachers. First, they were abandoned by their unions during the Covid-19 restrictions and now by the authorities, foisting this inhumane and dehumanizing method of indoctrination. With A.I., who needs a human anyway, or even a classroom, or a school?

Yes, I’m a neo-Luddite. The world is analog and we are flesh and blood and so should our teachers be—human to human.
