Episode notes

I think one of those tools could be just plagiarism checkers. I don't see it as this big great threat to education in that way. Also, it seems the main concern here is around cheating and or outsourcing thinking. And you know the truth is kids have been doing this since probably kids have existed. There's so many different ways people cheated, even when you didn't have this technology.

ChatGPT broke records in adoption, hitting 100m monthly active users in a matter of months... faster than any other web platform prior. Even faster than TikTok!

But with fast adoption comes equally swift resistance, surfacing questions around how this technology is changing the wider world. Should AI models be allowed in schools? How about the courtroom? Do stock image photographers have a fighting chance?

In this episode, Cal and Steph step into the shoes of many people tackling these difficult questions right now. From the middle school teacher to the college admissions officer, to the owners of a stock image sites, or even the head of the Bar Association... how would you respond? What questions would you be asking?

Listen in to hear Cal and Steph's takes.
