I’ve noticed a lot of AI-generated content in the classroom and student assignments. While the university encourages us to explore AI as a tool to support our work, using AI to do our work violates the student code of conduct and makes us stupider. I asked Grok (xAI) to prepare a coaching script to help us understand how to use AI in a college classroom.

After chatting with Grok (xAI) about students using AI to do their homework, I recalled the storyline in Wall-e with humans who’ve become incompetent blobs [https://youtu.be/s-kdRdzxdZQ?si=W0fKhYyre0hIuzGU] after decades of AI-dependence. I asked, "Is it cool to say that students who use AI to do their homework are stealing from themselves by paying for an education that they're not getting while making themselves stupider?"

Let me share with you a recent project in which I engaged AI to refine a song inspired by my three-year-old grandson's imaginative words during a backyard swing session.
Setting
While pushing the Kid on a tree swing, I mentioned the storm clouds climbing over the South Mountain hills. He replied, "Maybe it will rain iceballs. We can eat them like strawberry snow cones." That might seem random. But, he was remembering a hail storm where we made snow cones from hail and strawberry jam.
His other phrases included "To the moon!", "Like a rocket!", "I can swing higher than you!" and "Is that a race car?"

A recent episode of"AI Decoded" on BBC's The Context discussed how Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) might one day become more intelligent than humans and could control us in ways we can't predict.
The discussion drew an analogy between humans and chimpanzees. Despite sharing nearly identical DNA, humans have evolved a more sophisticated brain, allowing us to control chimps despite their physical strength. By this logic, if AGI becomes exponentially more intelligent than us, it might similarly control humans.

Coaching Notes
Working with hundreds of business, marketing, and psychology students a year, I get a lot of questions about concepts, processes, and practices. Here are some of the FAQs for Dr. Duncan.
