Screenshot of a post by Tulsi Gabbard on X dated January 24, 2019. The post states that the United States should stay out of Venezuela and allow the Venezuelan people to determine their own future, arguing that the U.S. should not choose other countriesโ€™ leaders. The image shows text only, along with Gabbardโ€™s profile photo and verification badge.

Unless you prompt for feedback that guides your writing in a unique, innovative and nuanced way, the feedback will often direct you to use the same tepid language that AI uses and the same bog-standard structure.

Generative AI can be useful for feedback however the feedback constantly directs us to emulate what already exists, in the same way AI has been developed. wp.me/peKPOF-eo || #EdTech #EduSky #AcademicSky #AIinEdu

Want to know how itโ€™s done in culturally responsive teaching? Lean into what kids love. A 1st grader got me hooked on K-Pop Demon Hunters. Wore the shirt to schoolโ€”instant connection, big smiles, deep chats, even sing-alongs. Thatโ€™s how itโ€™s done. โœจdone.๐ŸŽถ done.

Standardized tests reward correctness over creativity
