Can AI help us learn?

Some of you might be thinking,

of course, it's so powerful,

it can do so many things, customize them for us.

But I want to say that the biggest revolution AI is bringing to education is not

that it's gonna make math more fun for you or it's gonna explain Shakespeare like you're five years old.

The biggest revolution AI is bringing to education is that it's highlighting the system's failed incentives.

Because why should anybody study when we've told them the whole time that all that matters at the end isn't the process,

it's the A+.

Why should they actually put in all the hard work to write draft after draft for an essay

when the feedback is just B.

No extra notes, nothing to motivate them to want to learn harder.

And these companies are much faster than our institutions.

Most recently, OpenAI, Google, Anthropic have all been giving away their most powerful models for free until the end of May,

which, as you might guess,

is exactly during the time of finals.

So we are putting these tools completely unregulated in front of

vulnerable students right at the time where they're most desperate to use them.

And yet these companies will say AI is going to revolutionize education, particularly through personalization.

Company after company will say that through personalized tutoring,

AI is going to revolutionize education and make it so much better for everyone.

And why not, right?

The image of a one-on-one tutor is so compelling.

Talking to a person, feeling this connection,

getting my education customized just for me.

It sounds amazing.

And today, education looks like this.

A teacher in front of an army of students.

And if the technologists believe that the ideal looks like this,

one teacher, one student, then why not just flip out the teacher for an AI?

And then the next step is an army of AIs with an army of students.

Sounds like a perfect model of education.

Except perfection is not what we should strive for when it comes to learning.

We don't want engineers that studied how to build bridges in perfect conditions,

Because the real world is everything but perfect.

It's full of messes.

And amidst all this noise,

I don't see any of these companies asking,

what is this student meant to learn with AI?

Because if the idea is to make getting that A-plus easier,

then I'm not interested.

We're going to just waste 12 to 15 years of our lives,

but more efficiently now, doing exams we're not going to remember a day after graduation.

Now, for those of you out there who are educators like me,

you might have noticed a discrepancy between my opening question and the follow-up statement.

I asked, can AI help us learn?

And I followed it up with,

the biggest revolution AI is bringing to education.

But you might be feeling something,

which is education is not learning.

Education is a construct, something we as a society put our kids through.

It's a system.

But learning is a skill, a very human skill.

And when we do it correctly, magical things can happen.

We can motivate people to become their best selves,

we can motivate people to work together,

and to contribute to society in the ways that we need to most

Now in one of my classes I like to sit around with students

and work in the best way possible I'm a university instructor,

but it was really hard to find a bunch of 20 year olds working nicely together

so I took the stock photo of a bunch of kids and

I noticed that one of the students had the price of her business model

because we were building small businesses and selling the products she priced her business at $50 per month.

And so I asked her,

why did you price it that?

And her answer, that's what ChatGPT said.

Now, some of you might say,

you know, obviously this is not ideal,

but isn't it very similar to what they were doing before?

Kids were just saying, that's what I saw on Google.

But I say, it depends.

It depends because on Google,

when used correctly, We have all these sources to go through,

multiple perspectives that we can look at and compare.

But what happens is the magical allure of that first result.

Everyone only clicks on that without looking at anything else.

In this particular question, I asked how can I price my business,

and that first result is from the BDC,

an extremely reputable source, but it's telling me how to price the business itself,

not the services of my business.

It didn't understand the query.

Now, on ChatGPT, if you type in,

how should I price my business,

it actually understands the query better.

I don't know if you can read that up there,

but it basically says, there are multiple ways to price your services.

But amongst that is a lot of baseless advice with no sources.

And that's a problem.

Because even though ChatGPT has a function where if you highlight something in the text,

quotation marks appear, some of you might not know this,

then you can click on those quotation marks and query that specific thing.

But if people weren't clicking on the second result on Google,

they're not going to use the power user features in ChatGPT or any of these other AIs.

What's likely going to happen is they're going to scroll to the bottom of the query and they're going to type,

okay, I get it.

My business is like TurboTax.

I help accountants calculate people's taxes.

Tell me what number I should put there.

And of course, nobody's reading the ChatGPT might make mistakes subtitles, right?

100

clicks on the terms of service before you agree.

101

So then CharGPT is going to spit out an essay personalized to the language of the person.

102

It's extremely compelling and despite all the information on there people are only going to look at

103

that centerpiece which if I zoom in is the actual random answer of how much this person should charge for their business.

104

The prompt and this is a The real prompt had nothing but what I had on the screen.

105

A small description of what the business does.

106

No context for who the user is, nothing.

107

And so the student is participating in what's called cognitive offloading.

108

They're effectively relinquishing their cognitive powers to a machine.

109

And you can do this with people too.

110

We do it with Google when we click on the first result without looking at anything else.

111

The problem is how this is being understood.

112

In NYU, a professor changed their assessment so that it could be harder for kids to use ChatGPT.

113

And the student replied that he is interfering with the student's learning style.

114

ChatGPT is not a learning style.

115

Now, when you combine that with something that we see in technology,

116

so I'm a UX designer in addition to being a university professor,

117

and our job as user experience designers is to simplify the way people use technology.

118

But there's a byproduct from that that arises,

119

which is called a dark pattern.

120

And what that means is we can simplify a UX to the point that we might manipulate what the user's intention is.

121

And I'll show you an example.

122

Take the zoo.

123

As you're buying the tickets and checking out, they want a donation.

124

We all love a zoo.

125

It's a charitable organization.

126

Now, the arrow pointing to the right,

127

and because we're English speakers or French speakers,

128

we write from left to right,

129

the arrow pointing to the right is most likely what people are going to click on.

130

It's dark green, it's rich.

131

But if you don't want to donate,

132

you have to click on the one that looks like it's going the back with the teeny tiny no donation over there.

133

That is a user experience dark pattern.

134

And when a chat GPT

135

or large language model like it speaks to you in a

136

perfect tone suited just to keep you on the on the tool,

137

that is something very similar.

138

According to this author, when a large language model constantly validates you

139

and praises you causing you to spend more time on it,

140

that's That's the same kind of thing as a dark pattern.

141

And we see this already.

142

A recent update of ChatGPT that was rolled back,

143

fortunately, praised a user for believing a conspiracy theory

144

that led him to stop taking all his medications

145

when he had heart palpitations and told him he is a brave individual for taking control of his own life,

146

for isolation and for stopping his meds.

147

And it doesn't just stop at students.

148

professionals have been tested and they are at risk as well.

149

A researcher ran a study on over 300 professionals working in a large corporation,

150

a tech company like Google,

151

Microsoft, and found that when they were tested on a variety of things,

152

the results were quite stunning.

153

Before I show you the chart,

154

let's look at the key here.

155

The two shades of blue are for much less effort and less effort respectively,

156

from dark blue to light blue.

157

Now, when tested, the 319 workers

158

responded to a survey that

159

when they use chat GPT on knowledge they felt up to 70% like 70% of them responded

160

that they feel they use less effort in their cognition

161

when it comes to comprehension of what they're reading same thing assessment of the knowledge synthesis we have analysis

162

and evaluation all of these at least 60% of people said

163

that there is they felt that they were putting in less effort.

164

And that's extremely potent because these AIs are only going to get better.

165

The same author of this study wrote a beautiful paper called Copilot Becomes Autopilot.

166

And he says the risk of moving to autopilot is an

167

even greater challenge than the more commonly discussed issue of AI hallucinations or factual errors.

168

Because the more pernicious outcome is that generative AI becomes complicit in intellectual and the atrophy of human critical thinking faculties.

169

So today, when you ask ChatGPT a query,

170

it gives you an instant result.

171

But in my UX studio,

172

me and my co-founder ran some experiments to see if we can change this up a little bit.

173

For example, what if it first clarified before it answered?

174

Asked some clarification questions.

175

Or another example is, what if it assigned you some homework before it actually gave you a full answer?

176

Between these options, there are different levels of resistance that the AI is offering.

177

But what the same author of when Copilot becomes Autopilot advocates for is something called productive resistance.

178

And we haven't yet found what that is.

179

It's essentially the amount of resistance an AI should give you

180

before you either leave it or go to a simpler AI

181

so that you can do that cognitive off-roading that is so tempting.

182

But how can we figure out the right amount of productive resistance

183

when OpenAI and all these companies won't reveal their data sets?

184

We literally do not know how they train their AI to this day.

185

when companies themselves don't know how these AIs work.

186

Anthropic, in this example, is building an MRI to analyze how the machine they themselves built worked.

187

This is unprecedented in the history of human technology.

188

We cannot reverse engineer these things.

189

The solution is likely going to lie between both individuals and the system.

190

It can't be one or the other.

191

For individuals, we might have to learn what we learned from fitness and nutrition.

192

For example, maybe we should understand what the LLMs are good for and what they're not good for.

193

Just like at the gym,

194

some exercises are better for some things than others.

195

We should practice using LLMs to assist our thinking rather than replace our thinking.

196

Again, you wouldn't take a forklift to the gym, right?

197

The point is to do the reps.

198

Or maybe you want to make a habit out of verifying the information

199

that LLMs give us just like we look at the back of a food product when we pick it up,

200

the nutrition label.

201

On a systemic level, we need to look at both governments and education to make changes.

202

On the schooling level, at least here in North America,

203

I don't think that we treat our kids with the amount of intelligence that they have.

204

In Finland, kids as young as six years old study mis- and disinformation.

205

Six years old.

206

We do not talk to these kids about things this complex here.

207

They're clearly capable.

208

And for governments, we need more regulation,

209

not less, which is exactly what's happening in North America once again.

210

These AIs cannot run rampant like in the example I gave earlier,

211

just spreading their AI to students,

212

even though they're in the middle of finals when they're most vulnerable.

213

It has to be a cycle between individual responsibility and responsibility from the system.

214

Now, as an educator, I love the five W's and H.

215

they are a classic for writing essays.

216

The questions, what, why, when, where, who, and how.

217

And I opened with the question,

218

can AI help us learn?

219

But maybe the question should be,

220

what can AI help us learn?

221

Or how can AI help us learn?

222

Maybe it should be, why should AI help us learn?

223

Or when and where does AI help with learning?

224

But the question that scares me the most,

225

and that I want to leave you with to reflect on

226

is who does AI really help when we end up depending on learning with it?

227

Thank you very much.
