Unit 1 Lesson 5 confusion

AI Foundations
1

I left my co-teacher on his own with 1.5 and chaos ensued.

  1. The slides refer to “various forms of questioning”. That variety is spelled out in the lesson plan inside a teaching tip (that can be unseen by collapsing it) as

    • Positive framing
    • Negative framing
    • Positive framing with a reliable source

    However, in the exercise they are called

    • Opposite Framing
    • Same Framing
    • Same Framing with a Source

    Perhaps they should be clearly defined in one way on a slide and then used that way throughout the lesson.

  2. The chatbot does not always produce a contradiction. Some prompts will result in benefits and liabilities with no overlap. The only contradiction being that AI will be for or against anything if you ask. We might need to add instructions for the students to try each topic until they actually find one with a contradiction.

    The contradiction I found was subtle. I was told automation would reduce creativity and that humans could focus on creativity both. Subtle.

On the positive side I did find the two truths and a lie formulation to be very enlightening for the kids. Who knew chatbots could outright lie.

Thanks for the feedback! I have passed this on to the curriculum team.

Just had a similar experience. It is very hard to find a contradiction.
