    1. Success will require collaborations of educators, researchers, AI experts, policymakers and others across the public and private sectors, focusing on what students need to learn to be successful in the AI-augmented world in which they will — and already do — live.

      This is very true and is a wonderful way to wrap up his piece. Many times, people want to do away with things that they do not want out, but there is no way to hide something as new and influential as A.I chatbots.

    2. These changes take time and cannot move as quickly as AI tools are advancing.

      All changes take time and careful consideration, but what do you do when you do not have that time and consideration available? What should be done instead?

    3. However, bans will be futile as AI writing capabilities become widely available and integrated into word-processing programs.

      Students will still use it no matter what, instead of banning, educators should acknowledge A.I and figure out a way to incorporate it into the lesson instead.

    1. While the graduatestudents and postdocs shared their thoughts, I was frantically Googling onmy laptop in an attempt to understand them. Though I had read the entirepaper front to back, I hadn’t grasped the context behind it.

      Another showing of the imposter syndrome. I wonder if the issue is not only in reading the room properly and just assessing what you need to enter the community, but also being able to trust in your abilities and get over the imposter syndrome that we all feel.

    2. Upon receiving my internship offer, I felt like I was infiltrating thecompany, rather than earning my position.

      Imposter syndrome is a huge thing that is not really talked about. You can feel prepared and educated to enter a field but the idea of entering and actually being apart of it are two separate things.

    3. As a new(ish) member of a university community, you may be inter-ested to know that, like TikTok, the academic community as a whole isalso too large to be meaningfully examined as a singular discourse com-munity. What counts as “good” writing or “successful” communicationis going to vary widely across the classes you take in different disciplines

      The idea behind a discourse community may be too defined for such a broad thing like TikTok but the fact that it can relate in some way is a surprising revelation in of itself. We never link what we do professionally with our personal lives.

    4. Being new to “the room” is an inevitable experience. This happens when-ever we start a new class or accept a new job. We have to learn the languageand expectations required to succeed in the new situation.

      Definitely important and universal. It can be hard to assess at times what you need to succeed which I consider to be the biggest obstacle, actually implementing it is a much easier task afterwards.

    1. All of us, then, should give ourselves time to anticipatenew writing situations, look at examples, find out what people’s

      I like how open-minded she wants people to be but I believe that this is a very privileged view of things. Not many people have such understanding parents and not many jobs will be willing to give adjustment time and understand that this is a first time experience. It is a great goal to strive towards but it is not the expectation for most places.

    2. Butpeople want to believe that it’s possible to write in general becausethis belief makes writing seem less difficult and allows them tobelieve that writers can get a one-time writing inoculation thatwill extend across all settings.

      I do not believe that writing in general would make the idea of writing seem less difficult but would instead have the opposite effect. The more narrow a pool, the easier it is to research. It does not have to be a very specific thing, just simply narrower than in general which can help someone pick what specific point they want to discuss, This can also limit creativity though by establishing parameters of any sort.

    3. The same is true forany other kind of writing—we write in our journals and think ofour future selves or anyone who might find the journal.

      It is weird to think that even when we journal, a time when we are supposed to unburden our minds from the thoughts that overwhelm us and refuse to leave in the present moment, we do think about the future. There isn't really living in the present moment.
