       We're not living "in the age of AI". We're living in a moment of unproven AI-related claims.These are profoundly different scenarios.And it's disturbing how many folks in education are eagerly, uncritically amplifying the first framing.

       @ryanrandall AI is powerful computing, but mostly it's purpose now is to hustle investors. Like the self driving car and 5G and augmented reality and blockchain and all the other stuff that went nowhere...

       @ryanrandall If AI means what it has meant in the previous decades, automated heuristic decision-making, then we are in a strong AI boom, so it's not an unfair claim.That could have been a good thing.But we got here by various interests hyping it and pretending it as a step on the path to AGI, so that's what people believe "AI" means now, and the same interests are framing any problem statements as future sci-fi problems, hiding the problems right here right now with overreliance, accountability, safety, rights, transparency, personal integrity, power balance, resource distribution, applicability, sustainability etc.
