"I'm not here to diminish the need for AI training for educators, or to chastise Common Sense Media's involvement with OpenAI. Rather, it's useful for me to look at what this relationship produced, as a way of making sense of the kind of thinking that OpenAI is engaged in around education.

One criticism of the course’s design is that its videos lack closed captioning. That's a problem from accessibility, and little mention of accessibility is acknowledged here.

In the sections below I want to provide some useful counter-arguments for what the OpenAI course is "teaching." My goal is to offer more nuance to its definitions and highlight the bias of its framing. Much of this will be analyzed through the lens of my piece on "Challenging the Myths of Generative AI," which offers a more skeptical framework for thinking through how we talk about and use AI."
