A teacher uses AI to inspire her students to visualize what they would look if their dreams came true.

Yes, this made me tear up. It makes me happy cry watching precious moments like this.

AI is incredibly insidious and potentially unprecedentedly dangerous, but not all its uses are automatically bad. Essentially making a visual for kids to see themselves in some profession doesn't seem like the worst thing. Not saying I'm a fan, but like with any technology, it's how you use it.

No one should be posting photos of children on the internet. That should literally be illegal.

Oh sure, and with less funding in education, some may not make it to university or post-secondary education.

Drainville is pure scum.

amruas.bsky.social•2 days ago

He was a journalist at Radio-Canada when I worked there. No comment.

Another unprincipled leech on the body politic.

Agreed. Once a civil servant always a civil servant. Not I. I worked at CBC Radio-Canada longer than I’d like to admit but never really fit into that "pattern".

It's okay; the kids can all enjoy that new, useless Big O roof instead.

I have a feeling I am going to like Evan Solomon even less in a few years. Minister of AI my ass.

How that guy always wangles his way into cushy, highly paid jobs is an eternal mystery.

Love the sarcasm. 🙂 I make my students actually draw descriptions. So thanks for your sarcasm, which helped me not get super angry.

Here’s the drawing a student made of a character in my friend Robyn Peterman’s latest. I still owe Robyn the 17 others. 😍

Literally proves that progress isn't actually always progress ...

chriswalker1964.bsky.social•2 days ago

Uh, why isn't the teacher telling the kids to draw themselves in the careers they see?

kemptvillehabsfan.bsky.social•2 days ago

Damn fine question...

chriswalker1964.bsky.social•2 days ago

Also have to wonder if any of the parents had issues with pictures of their kids being loaded into an LLM.

jacktodd.bsky.social•2 days ago

That too. Seems people have become inured to all that. I won't even post pix of my kid on Facebook and he's almost 20 and as tall as I am.

chriswalker1964.bsky.social•2 days ago

I have posted pictures of my kids to Facebook on occasion, but most of my posts aren't public.

jacktodd.bsky.social•2 days ago

I have friends who do so almost daily. I don't have a problem with it. In my case, there are a lot of people out there who hate my guts and I don't want him to have to deal with my enemies.
