Paying homage to Mistral’s latest model “Le Chonk” (Mistral Large 4), I got carried away and built a full video creation pipeline which generates video from a JSON spec. lnkd.in/p/eWG5GZys #Mistral #GenAI

The absolute worst thing we could do is to ask students to evidence all the ways they used AI on all assessments as a blanket requirement. Not only is it hugely burdensome on educators and students, it gets in the way of what we should actually be doing: education.

I’m teaching a large group of final year software / data students this semester so I might talk to them about this and get their thoughts. It’s an AI / innovation module so we will be engaging with lots of different types of “AI”.

Any critical AI literacy efforts need to help students and staff navigate these false affordances of GenAI and explore potentially useful but hidden affordances accessible through different prompting techniques. It should also help them be able to decide proactively when not to use GenAI.
