So, professors, we have moved from requiring that students recall information to requiring that they synthesize information, since all information is easily accessible.

With #ChatGPT and future AI successors able to synthesize information, what will we now ask of students?

@StearnsLab I believe that both recalling and synthesizing information are skills that future students will have to acquire. I don't have a lot of teaching experience, but isn't everything we learn in institutional education something that somebody or something can already do better? Everything my kids learn in school can be done by computers or by me. They still need to learn it so they can do creative things at some point and live a non-boring life.
