Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

That was the deal when I worked on The Book of Fuligin by @ramonkey.bsky.social and @strangers.bsky.social No guff and contributor focussed stretch goals. Really refreshing folks to work with :)
