I think we really need to get on integrating technology like this into a curriculum which does build critical thinking and problem solving skills, since these kids are already inundated with AI generated content and it seems certain to increase several fold over the next few years.

But the article is wrong...

Ok, this is why I think it's wrong: ChatGPT absolutely does teach us critical thinking and problem solving skills. How to best leverage ChatGPT is absolutely a problem that needs to be solved, and it varies wildly on the use case. Critical thinking absolutely does need to be applied to what it produces. All it can do without critical thinking and problem solving skills is create commoditized responses, the same thing it produces for everyone else. That has no value anymore. HOW you leverage is insanely important.
