Andy, we heard you.

It's why we created the New York Times Family Subscription.

One subscription, up to four separate logins for anyone in your life.

If we're helping kids figure out the world and their futures, then we have to help them figure this out too.

So our goal in all of this, by the end of the class that we're having, is for you all to think of yourselves as drivers of the technology.

Yes.

So recently I went on vacation with my mom and our whole itinerary when we were in Puerto Rico was completely chat GPT generated.

But my mom was like, they saved her so much time.

And most of the places we went to were actually pretty good.

AI should be viewed as a extension for humanity designed to unlock solutions for critical challenges.

And finally, I went to an English class where the teacher gave the students a choice.

They could do the lesson on paper or they could write it in their Chromebooks, but most of the kids decided to use paper.

Most of the students I talked to said it felt kind of good not to be on the devices all the time.

I had students tell me that they're talking more to their peers because they're not burying their faces in Chromebooks anymore.

They're collaborating more.

And so we're not talking about a school that is like returning.

It's like the new Luddism.

It's not right.

It's like they are moving to what they call more intentional, more purposeful tech use.

And so it's no longer sort of this knee jerk.
