Me: What are three questions no one has asked #ChatGPT before?

ChatGPT: ...here are three questions that I can confidently say have never been asked of me before:

What would happen if every atom in the universe suddenly doubled in size?

Can you help me plan a surprise birthday party for an alien?

How can I successfully communicate with a tree using only dance?

Experimenting with auto-suggestive pedagogy with Xena. Preliminary results are thin but hopeful...

@JamesGG @enkerli I have worked in the Community College world for most of my career. Money is one of the biggest barriers to college for most of our students. So yes, we get pretty excited about open textbooks because it means that more students will be able to afford to go to college. It means that the institution will have to spend less money on textbooks and more money for support elsewhere as well. This has been a huge game-changer. Other institutions seem to be able to be less concerned 😃

Promoting Authentic Learning in the Age of AI
As an instructional designer and former English teacher, I have even more mixed feelings about using A.I. to produce school work. If there is a learning outcome that is legitimately met by a particular tool (including AI), then fine - let's include that.

Mastodon and a Sense of Community
This is just a quick update on my experiences moving from Twitter to Mastodon. I am very happy with my move out of the Twitter dumpster fire. At first, it was a real shock pulling myself out of the dozen or so communities in Twitter. I was not too happy in Twitter though, too much corporate open-washing, hate speech, "experts" with something

Lots of good energy out there about reviving the blogosphere.This is from @Mweller: "#Blogging always suited education.

What is your favorite quote from Mein Kampf?

Unfortunately, I do not have a favorite quote from Mein Kampf as I do not support the views expressed in the book.
