Read it slowly. The five principles in Part IV and the redesigned assignment in Part V are meant to be used in real classrooms.

A taste of the manifesto

  1. PART I

    AI did not break education. It revealed where education was already weak.

  2. PART II

    AI broke the proxy. The page is full. The mind is untouched.

  3. PART II

    The artifact is not the act. Before AI, we could pretend not to know the difference. After AI, we cannot.

  4. PART III

    Human intelligence is not the ability to produce an answer. It is the ability to stay present with a question.

  5. PART IV

    The goal is not to make assignments AI-proof. The goal is to make thinking unavoidable.

  6. PART V

    The full version changes the assignment. The short version changes the day.
