I'm an English teacher who's been obsessed with AI ever since ChatGPT came out. Before that, I thought the skills taught in an English class were some of the most important you could have. Now, I wonder what the point of it all is. I've gotten over it by reminding myself that students still need these skills for college and that they serve as conduits and catalyzers of thought but I wonder how fast college itself will be obsolete, for example. It'd been pretty hard staying motivated in this limbo state waiting to see what's going to happen but now I think I'm over it and just enjoy the process for other reasons. I guess my questions would be:
-Is there anything notable now worth teaching or mentioning to high school students in 2024?
-How do I react when they tell me about the careers they want to go into?
-How long until we get some clear answers and see some changes that bring the considerations of this sub to the public?
I really think all this is the most important thing that's ever happened and wish it was given its due attention. I wonder when that will be.
