1. “Welcome to Decoder. I'm Neil Patel, editor in chief of the Verge. And Decoder is my show about big ideas and other problems. We've talked a lot about generative AI on the show lately, which is a very big idea that is causing quite a few problems. And one thing we keep hearing about over and over again is that generative AI is causing a lot of problems in schools. There are a lot of people out there, including many of the listeners of the show who email us, who are worried about the obvious problem, students using ChatGPT to cheat on assignments. But when our team went and poked at the story, they found that the issues in education with AI go a lot deeper to the very philosophy of education itself. We sat down and talked to a lot of teachers. You'll hear a lot of their voices throughout this episode, and we kept hearing a common theme. What are we even doing here? What's the point?”

2. “Adam Dubay, an expert in educational technology from McGill University, joined me on the show to talk through how generative AI fits into education right now and where it might be heading in the future. We also talk to a whole lot of actual teachers. You'll hear their voices throughout this episode, and we kept hearing one thing over and over again. What are we even doing here with AI? What's the point of this? It's a big question with not a lot of answers. Here it is, AI in education. Enjoy.”

3. “Hey everybody, it's CLI. To cut us off today while the team and I are cooking up a lot of really great stuff for the upcoming weeks. We'll be back with an all new interview on Monday. In the meantime, we really wanted to highlight this episode we first aired back in the fall because it's about a huge subject, AI, and schools. The school year is starting to wrap up now around the country, and we're no closer to figuring out how to thread the needle about generative AI and education than we were back in September. Lots of people are worried about students using ChatGPT to cheat on assignments, and that is a problem. But really, the issues go a lot deeper to the very philosophy of education itself.”
