Instead of focusing on how to prompt machines, we should prioritize asking and discussing the three big ease: existential, ethical, and epistemological questions. By adjusting our questions to cater to machines, we risk losing the ability to ask these important questions that only humans can answer. Teaching students to prompt better does not teach them to ask questions; it teaches them to adjust to machines. We need to remember the value of asking these unique and important questions.
Pia Lauritzen shares how to use questions in new ways on episode 485 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
