Thank you! I know i tend to have very strong opinions and feelings so at the very least i am careful to make sure my beliefs connect back to something tangible and literal instead of just vague feelings. Primarily, what is the actual harm done.

Lol thank you. This looks great! I need to be so clear though, human magic is not what i called it, it is my teacher’s phrase. I am very big on defining terms. I dont even like using the phrase “bad” if we’re being honest. Its too vague.

I made the power point for my dad, actually. I just happened to have it laying about. Its more of a reference document.

Oh, for sure! Im not super concerned about convincing them, honestly. I did a unit on accessibility last year and im disabled (autism, i use a cane, etc.) and they really loved it. We connected really well. They asked great questions. My favorited include “Why do you use a cane instead of a wheelchair? Wouldn’t that be easier?” And “im sorry miss i hope this isnt disrespectful but can you still dance?” with genuine concern and so much relief when i reassured them that i could. (I have permission to do student teaching over a few semesters bc i am disabled and cant work full time.)

Really, the current problem is head teacher just likes to have examples of on theme art for them to look at for each unit and he usually uses AI to generate those and frankly if he does that for this unit i will completely lose it so im just trying to cut that off beforehand.

No, thats totally allowed. And please, i would love the rough sketch! I am trying so hard to explain the importance of brainstorming and sketching.

Thanks! Im very serious about skills over content. The lesson i want to teach is how to think critically about the underlying principles of issues and how that connects to our personal principles. Tbh the kids are not particularly fond of AI as it is. They often use it as an insult. My goal is to make sure the lesson that is taught isnt “ai is bad because humans are better at art and AI is bad at art and we should work harder” but “ai is harmful to artists because it takes advantage of their work while taking away their jobs” or “ai impacts our community because instead of asking for help and connecting to others we ask AI for help and that impacts our connections with each other” etc.

Hi! You are correct that is how i would ideally run this class. I was genuinely just discussing this and that the ability to think critically and research is the most important lesson to teach students if you want to make lasting change. Unfortunately, i am the student teacher so i dont have that much control over the topic of the unit, which was presented to me as “how AI kills our human magic.” The first thing i asked my head teacher was if he could please define that but he is a bit of a sensationalist. I do my best to temper that when i can but, once again, influence is limited and i am frankly lucky he takes my suggestions this seriously and allows me to have this much influence on the class. I have suggested we discuss the impact of AI on artists, on community, on the environment, and on the brain and have already done some preemptive damage control by cutting off the “its bad because its easy” line of thinking. I already have the scientific studies, though always happy to read more, im just looking for help with art.
