And I continue to believe, so my prediction last year was a six-year prediction that K-8 education was going to be revolutionized. I actually think it is 9 through 12 education that's going to be more revolutionized by LLMs.

And I think when we begin to tack into this and we stop viewing it as just cheating, and how can we do, I think it's going to be a lot more in-class assessment, which I think is going to be a good thing. Um, but I think, you know, it's like, you know, you remember Quizlet from back in the day and like chat GPT has absolutely replaced Quizlet.

My, my, my, my senior in high school needs to study for an exam. He sits down with chat GPT and has chat GPT help him study. Um, and he goes and sets the exam. I mean, he's not, he's not, you know, he's not, he's using it to actually like, you know, God forbid learn. Um, and I, and I think that there is a, I think we can do a lot more. Um, I think especially in secondary education. So, um,

Well, so here's what I think. I think that one, ChatGPT is a great editor. And maybe it's a little too great because ChatGPT tends to praise my work to me when I... Because my wife had decided that she's no longer interested in reading drafts of my blog entries, which understandably, they're a little arcane. So I just have like, you know what? Actually, I'll just have ChatGPT read it.

And it's interesting. ChatGPT... Again, I'm probably a sucker for it's like, this is a very interesting blog entry. I think you are writing on a very important topic. So I'm like, you know, I'm glad someone around here gets the importance of what I'm doing. But it gives me good feedback and it asks like, do you want me to give you like deeper feedback? What kind of feedback do you want?

And I'm able to guide it to give me, and so I actually, it does what my mother used to do with my papers when I was in high school. I think that's really valuable. I think you got to get out from like, you're going to, it's going to write it for you.

I would personally, if I were in high school, I would have, I think an interesting experiment to do would be like, no, what you're going to, I want you to write on this topic. I want you to write a great essay on it. These chat GPT use chat GPT, like do whatever you need to. If you just have chat GPT spit out an answer, it's going to be like copying the Wikipedia article.

It's probably not going to be, you know, and actually ask people to do more with their writing. And then I would have them read it aloud. And because I think that you, I mean, it's really interesting to have people read their own work aloud. If you suspect a kid, by the way, is use chat GPT to write something, have them read it aloud and it will become very obvious.

whether it's their own work or not.

that's what we're doing in the high school as well. And I think that's good too. I mean, that's like the, I think that that's, but I also feel that you're also missing a really important part of writing is revising.
