This article is a bit over the top, but it makes an important point: "AI-generated content predominantly promotes teacher-centered classrooms with limited opportunities for student choice, goal-setting, and meaningful dialogue." That makes sense. After all, that's what it was trained on. Devin Vodicka continues, we need to "limit what the AI model references when creating something like a lesson plan, so it doesn't default on many decades' worth of school-centered design principles." To be clear, I think we need to limit what it does rather than what it was trained on. So instead of asking for 'a lesson plan', ask it to 'learn about and then instruct in a working context'. That takes us past the point Vodicka is making here; he is arguing that "we must design and input the pedagogical foundations that guide it," but that's probably assuming we need to do more than we actually have to.
