Hi Astelle, thanks so much for your thoughtful reflection.
This is such an insightful point that I hadn’t fully thought about! The modeling point is so valid—you’re right that if kids are constantly interacting with tools that just agree with everything, that’s teaching them something about how conversations work (or don’t work).
Your VSPE framework sounds really interesting. I’m curious about the “submission” component. Is that about the AI acknowledging when it’s uncertain or wrong? That seems like it may be a key for teaching intellectual humility?
And it feels so urgent too. Even 10 years back in my school, moral development was considered one of the most important aspect, but honestly other schools (at least at that time) didn’t have this component seriously taken. If without-an-AI world needed it so badly, the with-AI world needs it more than urgently.
I’d love to read more about your work whenever you’re ready to share!
Thanks again for your kind words, it encourages me to think more about these questions!
