LISTEN: Teaching Creative Technology in the Age of AI

So thankful to be connected to the garden3d@substack.com email chain; and to have found this gem of a panel discussion.

Listen to these five New York (and RISD) higher-education instructors discuss the perils of receiving AI generated assignments, and discuss their solutions for grading “too polished” assignments, while beginning to appreciate the glitch as proof of a human-made product.

Also, complete with discussions about Wikimedia being a non-profit, versus, Open AI and Anthropic being for-profit companies; and the motives behind each.

“What are they trying to avoid?…Learning these tools, and learning how to code, and the processes is important because there is a certain level of understanding there; and when you continue to bypass it by using an LLM, you lose out on internalizing that knowledge.”
