This is top of mind for me these days as I make the rounds trying to explain to educators why searchGPT is a big deal and what it entails, as data seems to suggest students are preferring AI search to Google w/o verifying.

Another flag is that the partnership with German partners is problematic as Axel Springer owns “unserious” or boulevard media like Bild. Some have tried to block their content when querying.

Generally, it’s amusing to me that all this means MORE work to verify things. It means more information literacy is required. 🙂

I can't help noticing that there are two Nicks here: Mr Potkalitsky is the author and Mr Burnett the reader. Yes, I concur with the latter that the former has done very well in highlighting the differences between inquisitive AI (promoting active inquiry) and generative AI (creating content).

Perhaps it is now acceptable to use their respective acronyms IAI and GAI.

Yours sincerely,
