I kinda thought the point of AI was to be intuitive and user-friendly and democratizing. I'm not a fan of it, but what is there to teach? And if you have to teach it, why not just teach the actual material it's supposed to help you access?

One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.
