We discussed the challenges of AI use, especially the burden of fact-checking AI-generated work and how setting ground rules can help. You highlighted the potential of using AI for brainstorming and experimentation to support a growth mindset. We also discussed your colleagues’ varied responses to AI, emphasizing the importance of ongoing dialogue and practical demonstrations to ease resistance and encourage curiosity.

  It felt like the bot and I were in couples therapy, practicing active or mirror listening! Frequently the bot used my exact words in its response, which was affirming as well as frustrating — I wanted new ideas from it, not just my own concerns.
