• Episode adapted from this article 
• The use of AI chat tools has rapidly increased this year.
• AI chat tools have a difficult time with voice since they lack the emotional context that humans can interpret through the nuances of tone, pitch, expression, and most of all, uniqueness.
• More significantly, AI chat tools cannot express a person’s point of view because they lack the complex beliefs, values and opinions that form a person’s consciousness.
• Educators should make this clear to people accessing AI chat tools in their schools.
• While AI chat tools have some limitations such as capturing voice and eyes, it has remarkable productivity opportunities educators can leverage while navigating around imperfections to increase their efficiency and effectiveness.

• Generative AI offers many advantages for educators, for use in and out of the classroom.
• When I prompt for images of "a focused student," the first three are boys, two are white, the third is an Asian boy, and the fourth is an apparent high school female.
• If my anecdotal examples haven't convinced you, try for yourself, or refer to a respected resource on this subject, which characterizes how bias is becoming a more obvious concern while producing these realistic images.
• In essence, this makes collected information static, yet dynamic in how AI returns the content.
• In the first example, I added one word, "diverse."
• "Write a song that promotes understanding and empathy between people from different walks of life."
