“Being in dialogue with Large Language Model systems is a new literacy, as is the ability to critique and disrupt them, and to understand how they exploit our collective labor and data to generate wealth for a very small number of people” (Stephanie Jones, 2023).

“I think a lot about the surveillance through these technologies” (Tracey Flores, 2023)

…”We shouldn’t be panicked about this technology in classrooms, because we know what constitutes authorship has always been historically variable, from storytelling traditions to participatory culture. We could go on with countless examples of this and AI. It’s like a post-human iteration of co-authorship or some other form of authorship. And it may push us to imagine beyond the idea of the individual author and all the related notions of property, because that concept really arose in many ways with capitalism." (Gerald Campano, 2023)

"These AI driven bots don’t recognize you as a person. They see you as a set of continuously evolving data points. Just a set of data. I’ve read some critical work (e.g. Rouvroy, 2013) looking at the idea that this surpasses even the idea of subjectivity and the idea of being addressed as a subject. You don’t have any opportunity to speak back in this rapidly evolving, continuous summation of you as data. That has important implications for how we understand what a learner is, and what learning is”

(Lucinda McKnight, 2023).

"The idea of generative AI as a writing tool was brought up, but ChatGPT is inaccurate a lot of the time. It’s confidently presenting inaccurate information. How do we prepare and guide students to approach text generation tools like ChatGPT in ways that emphasize critical thinking and analysis? Because people are turning in stuff as is and it’s not accurate. So what do we do?" (Victoria Gill, 2023)

“If generative AI can produce adequate writing, what becomes the role of the in-person literacy educator? How should we rethink, redefine, reimagine what literacy education looks like and what our jobs as literacy educators are?” (Grace Enriquez, 2023)

"How can we be more intentionally subversive with children or youth around technologies that are going to shape their lives? We have to think about equity, making sure everyone has access to understand how this tool operates, and how it works. What could be possible as we know it today can change, and it will change. It’s being used beyond education and finance, in health care, in government, in defense. It’s everywhere. It’s all encompassing. Everything is going to be tied to these systems, whether we want to talk about it in education or not. So, who are the students who are going to miss out on the conversation, knowing how they’re being trapped and surveilled with these types of technologies, because we don’t give them access to understand how they work? Let’s be clear and intentional and subversive with students, so they have the information now to stay on top of what they want to do to”

"Humans are central to writing, not just part of this loop. I imagine them being absolutely at the center of all of this" (Enriquez, 2023).
