I was told in a meeting yesterday that the students where I teach need to improve in writing, So I could I come up with some writing they could do in my K-5 elementary Art classes. Then I can use AI to give them feedback on what they need to improve.

I said I don't trust AI to give them correct information.

A.I. can't be trusted and one of the main problems is
people believing what A.I. tells them. A few weeks ago i
read an obviously A.I. essay saying that British actress
Emma Thompson appeared in Ozzy Osbourne's Bark At The
Moon video as his wife. I informed the poster that she
didn't and that it was an actress called Sharon Duce (yes
a Sharon playing his wife) and he wouldn't believe me! I
directed him to the video and a picture of Sharon Duce
who bears no resemblance to Emma Thompson and he had to
concede. But it was obvious the poster had never watched
said video before and just took A.I. at it's word.
If you look at the effects smart phones have had on the
brains of the population in the last 15 years, can you
imagine the effect A.I. will have on their brains in a
similar time frame? Critical thinking is already fading
away.

My son, God bless him, has already become a cynical, critical thinker -
taking after his mum and dad at an early age.
Whatever he reads he will try to find additional sources to back up what he
has read.
He takes nothing at face value and is really suspicious of the bad AI can do,
while working with its benefits.
I’m really proud that he has taken that on board.

Now if only he would read comics and love Star Wars. He’d be perfect

I'm getting very close to finally quitting Facebook. The amount of AI slop posted there is really getting out of hand. 2 weeks ago I was seeing tons of AI photos of 9/11 - artificial images of the planes hitting the towers when there are hundreds of actual images of that which would have sufficed. The one that sickened me most of all was an AI image of people standing at the edge of the upper tower windows waving with smiles on their faces like they were at a f*cking parade and not about to jump to their deaths or be roasted alive.

I report the posts, but they provide no "AI Misinformation" button - now why would that be?
