"It's getting easier and easier to cheat, and I think the most important thing that teachers can do is to know that this is happening and adjust to critical thinking." "The problem is that critical thinking is not taught in school, because the school system does not want critical thinkers. They want robots." "If you're going to embrace AI in the school system, you have to allow and enforce critical thinking." "Lead by example. That's always been a core belief of mine, that I'm not just going to bark orders at you. Anything that I tell you to do is based on something that I've previously done or have experience with first." "Don't be a content creator. Be a business owner who creates content."
