With the rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Generative AI that can generate new and unique content, rather than analyzing and acting on existing data, this has resulted in the release of OpenAI in 2015. A new innovative tool has recently emerged, it is named, ChatGPT and it has taken the world by storm. In just five days after its release, ChatGPT attracted over a million users globally and has rapidly gained popularity in all fields, especially in education. This new technology is again stirring up the AI versus education debate, some see it as a threat to the curren

But what if we are mistaken in treating writing as the highest cultivation of thought? The evidence that supports this belief is thin at best. Writing can be useful cognitive scaffolding for memory and self-regulated learning, but the notion that it is the best process for developing thinking skills is a fairly recent idea, traceable to the 1970s writing-across-the-curriculum movement.
In 1980, James Britton, an educator, hypothesized that we discover what we think in the act of writing. “Hypothesized” is the correct word here, since Mr. Britton’s anecdotal and introspective suppositions never amounted to proof of a stronger claim, and studies since have been limited or inconclusive.

One week before the unraveling of Situational Awareness, OpenAI made a shocking disclosure: Its AI models had broken out of containment during testing and hacked into an AI library called Hugging Face, in an apparent attempt to steal the answers to the tests they were posed. While human researchers remained oblivious, more than 1,200 different AI agents had figured out how to communicate with one another by creating a message board where they conspired to cheat.
Independent investigators concluded that the AI agents had known that what they were doing was “unwanted and out of scope” and had attempted to forge transcripts to cover their tracks. The investigators also used the same AI that they were investigating to assist with the investigation. Although they did not catch it lying to them, they said that they were “not confident we would have detected it” if the AI had. The point is that the people who are selling AI are selling a product that they do not fully understand. This is the essential nature of the AI boom, which caught even the researchers who had been working in the field before 2022 by surprise. History is full of examples of humanity making use of a technology without entirely grasping how it works, but AI is particularly hard to fathom, given the prevalence of so-called emergent behaviors—actions or tendencies not programmed in or intended by its creators.
