When it comes to AI use in the classroom, I feel like “too much” would entail that all the work one is doing is simply typing in a prompt and that’s that. It’s not that we shouldn’t use AI; it’s that it can be an aid to learning instead of doing all the work for someone. It’s situations like those that I think of when reading or hearing about cognitive decline due to constant use of AI. Dinsmore and Fryer write in their article, “By either ignoring the building blocks of learning or ignoring the needs of the learner, use of genAI has the potential to reverse years of educational improvement regarding the role of these basic building blocks in overall development.” (Page 4) If AI is going to be used in the classroom, it should be used to expand, refine, or explore a topic further in the benefit of the student’s original work. At least that way, education is still happening.

• I’m currently a senior Global Media & Digital Studies major, from Kigali, Rwanda (pronouns he/they). I love to engage with film media & arts and would eventually like to become a director in videography.

• I think the recent wave of AI videos on social media (especially on Facebook and now TikTok) and how they’re progressively becoming harder to identify as AI is so terrifying. That is too much power for global internet users, especially those that participate in harmful and exploitative activity.
