| Abstract: |
The article critiques the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational settings, arguing that it undermines the essential human elements of teaching and learning. It highlights the dangers of relying on AI tools, such as ChatGPT, which may simplify tasks but ultimately detract from the critical engagement and inquiry that define effective education. The author emphasizes the importance of human connection and community in classrooms, warning that the push for AI in education may serve as a distraction from addressing systemic issues like underfunding and the need for more human resources. The piece calls for educators to resist the allure of AI and prioritize authentic, human-centered teaching practices. [Extracted from the article] |
