"The AI and technology that students (and others) are using now is the worst the technology will ever be. The more we cling to traditional instruction, the more obsolete we make our students. If AI can convincingly complete an assignment, then the assignment (not the student using AI) is a problem. Career readiness includes how you position yourself, tell your story, and show you can create value."
"As teachers, we all say our job is to prepare kids for the real world. But too often, we mean the world of our parents or grandparents-the world we're comfortable with. The truth is, our students are stepping into a future where AI is everywhere, and this is the worst the technology will ever be.At its core, AI is built on pattern recognition and replication. That should force us to ask two questions:"
AI is rapidly becoming pervasive, and current consumer tools represent an early stage of a technology that will only improve. AI excels at pattern recognition and replication, enabling automation of predictable tasks such as worksheets, formulas, and formulaic essays. Traditional instruction that emphasizes predictable, repeatable work risks making students obsolete. When AI can convincingly complete an assignment, the fault lies in assignment design rather than the student. Career readiness requires teaching how to create and demonstrate unique value through framing problems, storytelling, positioning, critical judgment, and creative skills that resist automation.
