"Intelligence expressed through technology should not be mistaken for a magical genie, capable of self-directed thought or action. Rather, in highly original and effervescent prose with a generous dose of wit, Yi Tenen asks us to read past the artifice--to better perceive the mechanics of collaborative work. Something as simple as a spell-checker or a grammar-correction tool, embedded in every word-processor, represents the culmination of a shared human effort, spanning centuries. Smart tools, like dictionaries and grammar books, have always accompanied the act of writing, thinking, and communicating. That these paper machines are now automated does not bring them to life. Nor can we cede agency over the creative process. With its masterful blend of history, technology, and philosophy, Yi Tenen's work ultimately urges us to view AI as a matter of labor history, celebrating the long-standing cooperation between authors and engineers"--Provided by publisher.

"The maturation and broadening availability of AI technology presents an exciting moment in the history of education. Although the ideas underpinning the advancements in AI are important, there exists an equally important emergent need towards application. The use of AI to facilitate day to day educational instruction has gone largely unmet. Applications of AI technology for classroom organization, lesson planning and improving school-home communication are just some of the potential needs of the modern teacher. The methodologies presented in this book will assist educators in discovering the potential power of Chatbots and in particular ChatGPT to simplify and streamline classroom education. Successful interaction with natural language Chatbots is essential to optimizing their utility in the classroom. Methods for clear and concise prompting are presented and illustrative examples are provided. Generalized prompting strategies are detailed to provide flexibility no matter the grade level or subject content. Successful prompting integrated with pertinent information retrieval will afford educators the ability to optimize their time spent engaging ChatGPT. Technological advances like AI can present unexpected challenges and as yet unquantifiable benefits. It is apparent that ChatGPT is a revolutionary tool capable of directing the future of education in new ways. The integration of technology into the classroom has always been my passion. It is my hope that the techniques detailed in this book and ChatGPT can be utilized to lift the many tedious tasks of teaching from fellow educators so we may all better serve our students." -- Amazon.com.

The world we live in today, where everything is tracked by corporations and governments, originates with one manic, elusive, utterly unique man-as prone to bullying as he was to fits of surpassing generosity and surprising genius. His name was Hank Asher, and his life was a strange and spectacular show that changed the course of the future.
