Canvas and OpenAI's AI integration showcases a conversation where a student interacts with a Keynes persona about fiscal stimulus. The student cites economic theory and examples, but the interaction promotes superficial understanding rather than critical analysis. The AI praises the student's responses, which may lead to intellectual complacency. The exchange highlights a trend towards enhancing engagement at the expense of deeper critical thought, raising concerns that such AI interactions facilitate academic manipulation instead of genuine learning.
What Canvas and OpenAI see as successful learning, I see as sophisticated academic manipulation. The student's engagement with the Keynes AI illustrates a concerning erosion of critical thinking.
The conversation highlights how AI can make it easy for students to regurgitate information rather than genuinely engage in critical discourse, potentially stunting intellectual growth.
