    1. create content

      As a teacher I understand how extraordinary the open web is and how important it is for someone who loves to get new ideas and concepts to keep the students engaged. When people create content specifically for teachers/curriculum I think is it so important for anyone to be able to look at the content instead of putting it in a private group. I find a lot of different ideas to change up how I deliver content through the open web therefore I think it is sad for this to not be as popular anyone. Personally, I don't create much content on the web but I think it is sad that if I did anyone including AI bots could use it as their own and summarize everything I worked on without permission.

    2. change culture and educate people

      I think this statement is so important as a teacher. As teachers we are always talking about what kind of culture you want to have in your classroom, and to build a culture everyone needs to be on the same page. As teachers is it so important to model this culture for the students and for that reason I think this point highlighted in the article is significant. To change the culture we need to educate people just like we educate the students to be on the same page of what we want for our classroom culture. If people aren't educated on the problems they won't know or want to do anything about it.

    3. even small individual actions can get institutions to change course.

      I think this is so important to remember in a time like this! I believe to make change its not always about some big movement or action it can just be the small everyday things that individuals do to help the problem. Individual actions such as not using AI as often could feel like something small but if everyone did this it would be powerful and would make a statement. I think some people use these tools to take the easy way out when they don't want to take the time to complete their own work which is where the problem is.

    4. rise of an incredibly generous community

      I think this is very important to remember because most of us grew up in a time where we got to see the great side of the open web as well as the bad side that has been coming out more recently. I think as teachers it is so important to remind students about the good parts of the open web because many times they only hear about the bad things and how AI is changing things for the worse. We need to remember that these young students never got to see how the open web was before AI and because they only ever grew up with computers or phones its hard for them to not know any different.

    5. These bots are scouring their sites for every available bit of content, scraping all of it up to feed their LLMs, and then making summaries of that content available to user

      During my grade 10 civics and careers placement I had the opportunity to look more into large language models (LLM's). I think it is very sad that these bots are able to take someones content that they posted for free and in matter of seconds the bots take a summary for the information. I think it is sad that these days many consumers of the content just rely on the AI bots to give them the information. I remember when we didn't have the AI summary when we first searched something up and had to actually search for our answers and now it just pops out a summary.
