Hi dear Douglas,
You are right : AI takes more and more room in our life.
Unfortunately some students are becoming lazy as they are using it to do their homework. They reflect no longer on what they feel facing some personal or social problems.
Teaching prompting is not a bad idea as far as we can make the students understand it is only a TOOL, a modern tool.
I think that writng is important too. When you write you can reflect as you have more time than typing on a keyboard. You can choose your vocabulary, go further in your thoughts with more calm or logic.
Teaching a language, whichever it is, means explaining the way of life, the habits of the people speaking this language.
So teaching prompting may be necessary as far as it is now part of our modern way of thinking BUT it is very important, in my humble opinion, to keep alive the HUMAN and sensitive way of our "imperfect" way of reflecting. AI is too predictable and "stubborn" : I mean it will give the same answer to everyone asking the same question whereas a man can adapt his answer according to the way the question is asked.
Let�s be modern. Yes but in a sensitive and clever way !
Thanks for this post dear friend. Interesting topic, indeed.
Have a very good day all.
