Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a tool that is used in the classroom. The integration of technology in education has historically been gradual (Holmes, Bialik, and Fadel 2019). Some educators lack the training to effectively use AI in the classroom, which may limit the ability to design AI-based coursework (Amado-Salvatierra et al. 2024). In addition, the lack of understanding of how AI usage can be applied pedagogically can potentially deter AI integration (Afzaal et al. 2024).

I had an older relative who would respond to almost everything anyone said with "I know." You might say, "Pearl Harbor Day is just around the corner" and she would respond "I know." Now maybe she did know about Pearl Harbor Day (December 7). She was a well-educated person, but she'd also say "I know" to things she couldn't possibly have know. "I got out of bed this morning, stubbed my toe, and decided to go back to bed.
