We believe, let’s say, in the next year, there’s going to be ways that you can actually do reading comprehension and writing at the same time, where there’s a passage, and then the AI essentially works with the student to construct, essentially a five-paragraph essay, arguing a point anchored in that essay. That’s what happens on every standardized exam. , the traditional way you assess reading comprehension is you give someone several paragraphs, and then you have some multiple-choice questions after. We’re working on ways so that the AI acts as a co-writer coach. Some say teaching the five-paragraph essay is essentially dead now that ChatGPT is here. I’ve told all our employees if you do any form of writing, and you’re not at least trying to use a large language model, you’re probably not efficient at this point. The other one is to just openly embrace it. And the teacher and peers are giving each other feedback and saying, ‘Oh, you might want to tweak that, etc.’ But that’s obviously going to mitigate it. The best writing classes are the ones where it’s like a real writer’s workshop, and kids are writing all the time. And then you have to do all the work outside. Most classes, class time is lecture or a little bit of discussion. I’ve always been an advocate of that, make class time more active. The one mitigation, which isn’t a bad idea, is to have students do more writing in class periods, in front of you. So the question is: How do you navigate a world where all of the students have access to it? What are your thoughts on your own question?

going to have some use case around these large language models. It’s going to be for any job that probably anybody is going to do for the rest of time. If New York City’s ban were effective, you’re essentially keeping kids from this transformation of technology, which isn’t just going to be for prompt engineers. It’s just someone who really knows large language models. What is a prompt engineer? There’s no degree for a prompt engineer right now.
