The time for preparing for AI has passed.
It’s time to practice.

Schools begin their “Whoa!” moment
Educators can choose to block AI tools or adapt their use in their classrooms. I’m encouraged and stunned by their initial reactions. In the world of education where change moves ever so slowly, have you ever seen such an immediate response?

ChatGPT
One high school teacher told me that he used ChatGPT to evaluate a few of his students’ papers, and that the app had provided more detailed and useful feedback on them than he would have, in a tiny fraction of the time.
“Am I even necessary now?” he asked me, only half joking.

Across the country, university professors like Mr. Aumann, department chairs and administrators are starting to overhaul classrooms in response to ChatGPT, prompting a potentially huge shift in teaching and learning.

GPT-3 listens like a friend
Talking to GPT-3 has a lot of the same benefits of journaling: it creates a written record, it never gets tired of listening to you talk, and it’s available day or night.
If you know how to use it correctly and you want to use it for this purpose, GPT-3 is pretty close, in a lot of ways, to being at the level of an empathic friend.

We are living toward incredible times where the only constant is change, and the rate of change is increasing.
