Relentless advancement to produce new gen of seppos
I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: “To what extent is schooling hindering students’ cognitive ability to think critically?” Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using AI to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what “makes us truly human.” She wasn’t sure what to make of the question. “I use AI a lot. Like, every day,” she said. “And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it’s just — now that we rely on it, we can’t really imagine living without it.”
It was pretty cool I guess.
Wow I learned so much.
And if they give vague non-answers like that you press them for details. What was so cool about it, what were some of the things you learnt, etc.
Alright, I see what you’re going for. Sorry for being snippy.
I think it might be part of me being on the spectrum where I get antsy around any sort of ambiguity.
