Schools & teachers, are you finding yourself giving out 'information' like this to students and parents around #AI ?
This is poor communication - reductive, non-specific, & shutting conversations down instead of opening them up. We should be doing better. How can we, as researchers, help?

A little pastel practice on this beautiful evening. This is a limited palette and exactly one hundred strokes, which appeals very much to my mathematical side (although my artist side is very annoyed at having to stop)
