You know, the fire, the feeling.

The depth.

Absolutely.

And I'm like, that is it, right?

That you're better than a robot.

Like keep going.

If you just started with this, you'd be like mid, right?

I think so.

You know, it's a learning process for all of us.

I'm, like, very confident in my expertise in writing.

I'm learning with them in terms of what generative AI is doing to our writing and processes.

And so I think there's a lot of experimentation, and I think that

You know, you have to kind of build a classroom where that trust and transparency can exist.

And so, you know, sometimes like, yeah, like, you know, I want you to use AI here and I want you to reflect on it and show me your prompts and talk to me about your process.

But then they buy in when I say like, right, like laptops down, I want you to write by hand.

Like, or, you know, I don't want you to use AI for this.

And I think that my students trust me and that I trust them for when I want it, when I don't.

We can kind of practice those different kinds of skills.

I completely agree.

Like, I wasn't a great student, which is why I think it makes me a good professor now.
