I see a benefit for students whose primary language is not English. AI can help them learn tricky medical terms, drug names, etc.

Having read again that ChatGPT lacks emotional intelligence, cannot respond to human emotions, and does not understand sarcasm or irony, I have hesitations on how it can be used to help people / students struggling with mental health issues [previous module]. Appreciating that teachers may have a large student population, if a student feels the teacher is too busy and turns to AI for psychological help, that student may not get the right help they need ... with potential bad outcomes. My post incorporates: AI's lack of EI, high teacher-to-student ratios, lack of student's critical thinking abilities, etc. 

I found it interesting that critical thinking is a skill that is very much needed with this type of technology. If people are not proficient at critical thinking, AI may lead them astray. 

I never knew AI / chatbots went back to the 1950s. Seems I have a lot to learn :)

I liked how some of the information was presented in a polar opposite manner; for instance, systematic versus intuitive problem solvers and decision-dependent versus decision-independent thinkers. This is a good reminder of how my biases may influence the way I expect students to solve problems.  

I read with interest the story about Dave Thomas and how he solved the problem with respect to Wendy's dwindling sales. As I attempt to apply that notion to my teaching, what I find tricky is taking student feedback about what could be done better to help their learning and how I could apply that feedback while being constrained by the curriculum. 

"Students need to be able to formulate and articulate their concepts and ideas. This way they can get the input of others as to whether their proposed solutions have merit, need continued development, or are off course" - I have a couple of students who are really quiet / on the shy side. This statement struck me and I may find a way to work this into a discussion I have with them :) 

I had never heard the term syllogism before - I learned something new. I enjoyed this topic as critical thinking is not a skill that most of my students come well-equipped with ... means it is at the forefront of how I approach teaching and learning. Unfortunately, sometimes in today's world, asking questions [to further one's understanding] is not always welcomed. 

Incorporating a guest speaker as one of the ways of imparting knowledge to students is a valuable suggestion. 

I appreciated the way Bloom's Taxonomy was presented, e.g., ABCD.
