Quotes from the episode

Searching for information is a journey. How can we get the benefits of AI but still preserve that feeling of a journey?

Critical thinking problems with students turn out to be critical doing problems.

I’m working on this issue of follow ups with AI. It is magic to get students to think of these responses as not a single transaction. They’re coaching the AI through a process, not to get a specific answer that they want, but to look at the sorts of sources that matter for the question.
