I think social media has fostered a culture of being afraid of failure and wanting to be successful right away. This culture is targeted at a younger demographic with TikToks on how to be successful by your 20s or how to get results instantly. This can create a school environment where children are scared to do the work because they don't want to fail. As Ausman mentions, shifting the narrative in the case of school projects and labs, the journey to understand the material comes first and the results come second.

Slowing down is becoming harder within a world trying to make everything instant. I agree with what Ausman is saying in which the learning experience is not a fast or instant and meant to make you stop. A.I is able to easily take that away, and while working with children I recognized that they would get easily frustrated when not knowing something and would give up easily. Though this isn't the case for every child and it's not solely the fault of A.I, it can be a multitude of reasons but I would see where some frustration would come from not getting something quickly. This isn't something i saw exclusly in younger children either, when training teenagers for a summer position, if something stumped them for an activity or for a group discussion they either gave up on the activity or the went on their phones and google the answer instead of working together to figure out the answer. I think slowing down is a crucial step in learning how to be adaptive with an instant world.

I think we are led to believe to accept what A.I generates without a second look over. In most ads and marketing done on generative A.I, there is no mention of double checking the picture. It's marketed as quick, easy, and one upload and you're done. This creates the habbit of not looking into what A.I has generated for you, which can lead to incorrect details like the article mentioned. On Chatgpt, the warning about how it can make mistakes and the need to always double-check is written in small text that is easily overlooked. On top of that, A.I. images do have a certain "look" but without a trained eye, it can be difficult to tell which images are misleading or outright wrong. Having these types of exercise of looking deeper into these images can be beneficial in helping the younger generation spot these A.I. images and creating space to think critically about what they are seeing.

I think with the rise of social media and how A.I is growing in bettering its responses and representation of things, having the ability to stop and question what is in front of you is showing its importance in classrooms. I see a lot of comments under A.I news or news in general about how "Google is free" and to make the effort to see if what you are seeing is real, but not many people take that extra step to fact-check. The option to just scroll past and accept what is in front of the viewer is way too easy, and this "healthy skepticism" is a goal that is more important than ever to instill in our youth.
