Thanks for sharing these. I messed around a bit with it, and in many ways it affirmed what some have been saying. There are some ways in which the AI can be helpful, and others that it's not useful.
I asked it to explain evolution to me, and then design a lesson on evolution.
The explanation was good enough to serve as a basis for an explanatory model I might have for a lesson plan (a very small component of the lesson), that would require a fair bit of editing on my part, but definitely a time saver.
For the lesson plan, it generated something that was absolutely awful, used traditional pedagogy and was entirely too short. I suspect I could have added some criteria like, "Evolution for 5th graders who are predominantly Latinx living in Southern California" but I doubt it would do much better. My lessons and those I expect my students to write should be culturally responsive and cognitively demanding to the specific population I am teaching. This requires knowing students, their interests, how they engage and what motivates them etc, which the AI is not responsive to.

@ZingerLearns well, on your last point, the AI is very responsive to it, more input the better the output, just freeform it in a stream of consciousness . But overall what you're seeing is more the limit to the number of tokens (ie $) spent on each output. So for example i use other tools that produce better results. I'm really honored you took the time to thoughtfully consider and work through the prompts provided, you seem to have your finger on the pulse of these mores , so hopefully you'll keep being a bellweather or even a lighthouse to the whole community of educators 🚀
