I’m excited to learn more from you. From a self-directed adult learners perspective, there may be value in AI for learning when done deliberately. I’m working on the system for myself.

While human feedback is great, it’s good to get ideas out and think through things with a partner where there is absolutely no emotional judgement.

Getting the system to not be an answer box or a confirmation machine is critical and tricky to do.

Especially when it’s tempting to have something “give” you an “answer.”

I’m still on the fence for AI in public schools for direct use on school work. Learning about it is critical though. It’s not going to disappear.

So, there’s another way to write with AI. That is, using it as a collaborator and thought partner. I have a number of “persona teams” that I work with to brainstorm, write, edit, etc. I’ve been writing for over 50 years, and this experience is amazing! It’s so invigorating. It’s changed how I think and write - for the better.

I'm glad you've found it helpful! Indeed, I think it can be.

I think one of the challenges for educators is how to help students find those uses--when they haven't had 50 years of experience just yet. How do we get them there? I'm glad that you're sharing your examples and expertise on this inspiring use! These examples can help educators to guide their students.

You know, it is fairly easy to create these robust types of agents. This can be taught to students so they can create their own interactive teams. Also, schools can define teams for the students to work with, according to the organization’s requirements.
