I feel like things are moving so quickly and changing every day… Would love to hear this guys thoughts on the way things have progressed in the past year since he did this.
I was in college when ChatGPT was released and I can still remember how it flipped everything upside down for us haha
I wish more teachers would take this approach. Storytelling is so underrated in education.
This is exactly the kind of stuff we should be using new tech for. Teaching, training… just helping humans in general to be better at things
The part about him saying “good luck figuring that out” after calling someone obsolete really made me laugh
Interesting point at 2:02 – "job transformation" not "just job loss".
Kinda funny that students dared him to make the assignment longer.
His nephews thriving because of roleplay actually made me smile. That was really wholesome.
Not gonna lie, I’m a bit concerned about AI in schools. Not everyone has equal access or training.
I'd rather learn the old fashioned way… "Actual Intelligence"…
Feels like he's more optimistic than most people I know about AI in education
Lowkey wish my teachers had tried stuff like this instead of endless lectures!
Idk about anyone else, but I'd 100% rather work in a fake spaceship than sit through another Zoom meeting 💀
I swear every time I watch something like this I'm 2 seconds away from quitting my job and becoming an educator.
The Haunted Mansion (8:40) example took me back to when I was kid. So relatable. 🤣
The contrast between ancient cave drawings and VR classrooms was one of my favorite threads in this talk. Shows how old creativity really is.
Genuinely didn't know what I was thinking when he asked if Ai was fiend or foe.
The phrase “our job security is in creative thinking” actually made me reflect on how I work day-to-day.
I need to go to one of his workshops. It sounds more like a movie than a class lol
Tbh I'm still torn on using chatbots as "collaborators". Like I get it but I still feel weird calling a bot my teammate
This makes me want to go back and redo every boring training session I've ever had but have it be on a spaceship 🛸
Still undecided on using AI in education… it just seems like once we normalize it, we'll lose something human that's hard to get back
Can't believe I'm saying this but now I wanna be in one of those LARP classes lol
I've always done things by the book, like, very linear… this whole talk made me want to get messy and try weird stuff lol
…I still can't decide if I love or fear AI after this
I kind of love that the solution to AI taking jobs is more creativity! That actually makes me hopeful about what the future will look like
Such revolutionary work should be more recognized and even funded. Praying that more companies engage in this responsible initiative.
This made me rethink how I use chatbots. I'm going to try treating it like a teammate instead of just a search bar
I wish businesses would become more open to the possibility of collaborating like this
This makes me wanna rethink how I use AI at work, honestly. It's not just a tool, it's like a co-pilot.
Every time someone says "AI will replace us," talks like this remind me we can actually work with it.
I wish AI can be used more efficiently in my field of expertise which is teaching English to second language speakers.
This is honestly the first time AI has sounded inspiring instead of terrifying.
I like the idea of using AR and VR to provide training for dangerous jobs, I think that's actually a really great use of tech
Am I the only one whose frightened by chat GPT? It's already come so far I can't imagine what it's going to turn into over the years
Nowadays we have all the resources we need and AI is one of them.
