Hi, I'm new to Pixelfed! #introduction My Mastodon is not new, but my Pixelfed is!

Every time #AI comes up in my classrooms I am relieved to hear the #students talk about it with nuance, restraint and concern. One student today said she&#39;s excited about some of the things it can do, yet thinks the mass rollout of #LLMs is reckless.
