I for one welcome our new AI overlords

Everyone is talking about AI. Everyone from politicians to the crowd at my coffee shop, and everyone has either a fear of it, or an enthusiastic story about how it's transformed their lives. 

A teacher writing up a behaviour incident report threw a bunch of bullet points containing the raw data at ChatGPT, and it responded with a business-like email, formatted and ready to send (after adding the sensitive info like names etc manually). A small business owner chucked a few words at CoPilot and it formatted that into a well written social media post, ready to go. The fears that people speak of are either job redundancy or "will humans never think for themselves again".

I see the emergence of these tools as just that: tools to get a job done. Just like the invention of "wireless" (radio comms), the telephone, the transistor, computers etc, a set of new pathways are created. What are we doing to facilitate the creation of those pathways? The teachers I know haven't had training or curriculum updates for their students.

This article from ABC News discusses those topics and more.

I don't yet have answers for how society will achieve this literacy uplift - perhaps the brains trust here does?
