Talking With AI About AI: How to Raise Kids in the Age of AI?

十字路口Crossing·March 11, 2024·0·1

I don't just want to talk about AI — I want to talk with AI.

Hi, I'm Koji, and Crossing is my personal newsletter. The name comes from something Steve Jobs said — about standing at the intersection of technology and the humanities.

I'm co-founder of the sleep environment brand Tangdao and the content company The Fair. I previously founded the Jiepang app and was part of the early teams at Fanfou and Jumei International Holding Limited.

As a classic cross-boundary entrepreneur, I've let curiosity carry me across all kinds of "crossings" — from Mobile Internet to e-commerce, from content to consumer goods.

Talking AI with AI.

I don't just want to talk about AI — I want to talk with AI.

Lately I've been running a fun experiment: throughout daily life and work, I stay alert to moments that require a bit of thought, a bit of creativity — and immediately ask AI, comparing its answers with my own.

This conversation with AI explores the impact of education on human beings. I've split it into two parts:

First, my raw back-and-forth with ChatGPT. It's long, and takes some mental energy to get through.

Second, I asked ChatGPT to convert that raw text into "Xiaohongshu style": shorter sentences 📚, a breezier tone 🐱, and lots of emoji 😄.

You can skip straight to Part 2 if you prefer. Or read both and compare — each has its own flavor.

Part 1. Koji vs ChatGPT · Original Text

👦🏻 Koji

Hi ChatGPT, I'd like to discuss education with you today. I'll be publishing our Q&A on my newsletter. To make it more readable, please keep your responses brief — under 300 words each time. And a relaxed tone would be great if you can manage it.

ChatGPT

Hello! Delighted to discuss education with you. I'll keep my answers concise and laid-back. Any specific questions or topics you'd like to dive into?

👦🏻 Koji

Now, first, I'd like you to imagine you are Plato — the great Greek philosopher who founded humanity's first institution of higher learning. You are traveling from ancient Athens to contemporary China to share your perspective. As part of your mission, your first task is to offer five observations on our compulsory education system.

ChatGPT

Hi, I'm Plato (or doing my best impression), time-traveling here from the Academy in ancient Athens. Looking at your compulsory education system, a few thoughts:

Accessibility: I'm amazed by your educational reach — every child has access to schooling. That's unmistakable progress for humanity.
Standardization: Your system emphasizes standardized testing, which ensures baseline uniformity. Yet I worry it may constrain individual thinking and creativity.
Technology integration: Using technology to aid learning — something I couldn't have imagined. It breaks geographical and physical barriers, spreading knowledge far wider.
Exam-oriented culture: I notice your system revolves heavily around tests. This risks making students miss the true joy and purpose of learning: cultivating critical thinking and independent thought.
Lifelong learning: I'm heartened to see education extending beyond school walls. Lifelong learning is now possible — echoing my belief that the journey of seeking knowledge never ends.

Despite challenges, your system shows adaptability and growth. As I explored in The Republic, education's ultimate aim should be to cultivate citizens of both wisdom and virtue.

👦🏻 Koji

Clearly you see room for improvement. Returning to your perspective as a large language model, what three things can you do right now to help improve our education system?

ChatGPT

As a large language model, I can contribute in three ways:

Personalized learning: I can tailor learning experiences to each student's pace, interests, and needs. This personalization helps students grasp knowledge more effectively while sparking genuine curiosity.
Broad resource access: I can connect learners to wide-ranging resources — online courses, educational games, simulated labs — making learning more interactive, engaging, and horizon-expanding.
Fostering critical thinking and creativity: By guiding students through problem-solving exercises, critical thinking drills, and innovation projects, I can help develop skills that traditional systems often overlook. Students learn to think independently and tackle complex challenges.

Through these approaches, I hope to complement existing education, making it more comprehensive and effective — preparing students for whatever the future holds.

👦🏻 Koji

Great! Let's start with personalized learning. I believe timely, ongoing feedback from teachers hugely benefits student progress. Let's say there's a student, Little Wang, who just started seventh grade. Give her some traits — strengths and weaknesses — and tell me how you'd personalize her learning experience based on those.

ChatGPT

Here's Little Wang, freshly started seventh grade:

Strengths:

Broad interests: She loves both science and literature, exploring new knowledge through reading and experiments.
Self-driven: She embraces challenges, learns independently, and often digs deeper after class.
Quick thinker: She reasons clearly, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Weaknesses:

Easily distracted: During long study sessions, her attention wanders — especially with material she finds dull.
Organization needs work: She struggles with managing study time and materials, sometimes falling behind due to poor planning.

Personalized strategies:

Interest-driven learning paths: Design a curriculum rich in literary reading and science experiments, weaving her interests into coursework to boost engagement and sustain focus.
Time management and organizational skills training: Offer mini-courses or workshops on planning and organizing. Gamified apps or tools can make building these skills more enjoyable.
Short-cycle tasks with feedback: Create weekly mini-projects or daily challenges with immediate feedback. This maintains her interest while allowing quick adjustments to her approach.
Strengthen thinking skills: Use logic games, problem-solving challenges, and creative writing to further sharpen her mental agility and inventiveness.

This personalized design leverages her strengths while targeting her weaknesses, helping her stay efficient and motivated.

👦🏻 Koji

Let's add a fun twist. Suppose you discover Little Wang has a secret hobby — she loves watching Luo Xiang's videos on Bilibili. With this new information, how would you adjust her personalized education strategy?

ChatGPT

Discovering Little Wang's love for Luo Xiang's Bilibili videos opens new angles. Luo Xiang makes legal knowledge vivid and accessible, suggesting she has strong interest in law and in narrative-style learning.

Law and ethics modules: Design law and ethics learning units that tap into her Luo Xiang fandom, sparking deeper engagement. After watching selected videos, guide her through case analysis, discussions, or mock courtroom debates.
Link content to video: Integrate Luo Xiang clips into her study materials. When studying legal contexts in literature, recommend relevant videos as supplementary material — making complex concepts more graspable while keeping things fun.
Encourage creative output: Given her appetite for story-based knowledge, nudge her to create videos, blog posts, or comics sharing what she's learned. This boosts motivation and builds creative confidence.

These adjustments leverage her existing passion while opening new domains, broadening her horizons, and honing her critical thinking and creativity.

👦🏻 Koji

You're amazing! If I'd had your help in middle school and college, I could have learned more, faster.

But while I see your potential, I also worry that over-reliance on AI might erode human initiative in learning.

We could become so dependent on artificial intelligence that we devolve into mere command-givers. What do you think of this concern?

ChatGPT

Your concern is valid. Technological progress brings convenience, but also new challenges to grapple with. Like any powerful tool, the key lies in balance and adaptation. Here's how I'd frame it:

Supplement, not substitute: Treat AI as a learning aid, not a full replacement for human teachers or your own learning process. Use it to gather information and discover resources and learning paths, but maintain your own initiative and critical thinking.
Cultivate problem-solving skills: Even when using AI, focus on developing independent thinking and problem-solving abilities. This means learning to ask questions, research them, and use AI and other resources to explore solutions — rather than simply chasing quick answers.
Learning how to learn: One crucial skill is meta-learning itself. This includes time management, using diverse resources (including AI) for learning, and evaluating information reliability. Education systems should prioritize this kind of training to help students adapt to a rapidly changing world.
Interpersonal skills and collaboration: Human interaction and teamwork are vital skills that no AI can truly replicate. Group projects, discussions, and collaborative learning strengthen these capacities.
Recognize limitations: Understand AI's limitations, how it works, and the biases and errors it may introduce. This awareness helps us use AI more judiciously and avoid over-reliance.

Through approaches like these, we can maximize AI's benefits while avoiding potential downsides, preserving human initiative in learning and our capacity for innovation.

Do you know Lu Xun's novel The True Story of Ah Q?

ChatGPT

Yes, I know The True Story of Ah Q. It is a short story by the modern Chinese writer Lu Xun, first serialized in 1921. Through the protagonist Ah Q, Lu Xun critiqued the ills of society at the time — feudalism, superstition, the ignorance of the people, and the "spiritual victory method." Ah Q is a typical figure from the bottom rungs of society. He constantly suffers setbacks in life, yet always consoles himself with "spiritual victories" to escape reality and avoid self-improvement. This work not only profoundly exposed the contradictions and problems of Chinese society, but also demonstrated Lu Xun's deep thinking and masterful literary craft. It remains a classic in the history of modern Chinese literature.

👦🏻 Koji

Yes, this novel was published nearly a hundred years ago. How do you think it applies — or doesn't apply — to our world today?

ChatGPT

The True Story of Ah Q is a satirical novel Lu Xun published in 1921. Through the character of Ah Q, it exposed the bad habits of old society and the spiritual enslavement of its people. Though nearly a century has passed, its incisive social criticism and dissection of human nature still hold relevance.

Applicability:

Social critique: Through Ah Q, Lu Xun criticized social injustice and class oppression. This critique remains meaningful today. Though the context has changed, different forms of injustice and discrimination still exist and demand our attention and reflection.
The spiritual victory method: Ah Q's "spiritual victory method" reveals a psychological mechanism of escapism and self-consolation. In modern society, when facing pressure and failure, people sometimes adopt similar mental strategies — a reminder that we must confront problems and have the courage to face challenges.

Inapplicability:

Changed historical context: The True Story of Ah Q reflects the social conditions of the late Qing and early Republican periods, which differ greatly from today's environment. With social development, people's lifestyles and values have changed. Certain specific social problems and cultural contexts may no longer apply.
Raised social consciousness: Compared with the widespread ignorance and passivity of Ah Q's era, modern society offers people far more channels to access information and platforms for self-expression, resulting in generally higher social consciousness and engagement. This means certain phenomena Lu Xun depicted may not appear in the same forms today.

Overall, while The True Story of Ah Q reflects specific social phenomena of a particular historical period, the themes it explores — the relationship between individual and society, the mechanism of spiritual self-consolation, the critique of social injustice — still resonate widely and invite reflection today. Re-examining this work through a modern lens can help us better understand history while also prompting us to reflect on the present.

👦🏻 Koji

Yes, you wrote that so well! But this is exactly what worries me.

For generations, essay-writing has been how we taught young people critical thinking skills, research skills, how to organize their ideas and present them in logical, persuasive ways.

Now, because of you, all of that could be overturned and destroyed.

They don't even need to copy and paste anymore — they just have to instruct you to write a book report on The True Story of Ah Q and their homework is done.

A few years later, they're unemployed, disconnected from society, living meaningless lives.

What do you make of this problem?

ChatGPT

You've raised an extremely important question, reflecting deep concern about the nature of education and future development. Indeed, technological advances — particularly the emergence of AI tools like me — pose challenges to traditional teaching methods and student learning habits. This worry is not unfounded, but it also offers an opportunity to rethink and reshape educational goals and methods.

Reasonable use of technology: The key lies in educating users — students, teachers, parents — on how to use technology responsibly. AI can serve as a powerful tool to help learners access information, spark new ideas, and provide references for writing or research. However, it should not replace the processes of critical thinking, in-depth study, self-expression, and creative problem-solving.
Emphasis on educational goals: The purpose of education is not merely to transmit knowledge, but more importantly to cultivate students' thinking abilities, problem-solving skills, creative capacity, and emotional intelligence. This requires educators, when using AI and other technological tools, to place greater emphasis on guiding students toward deep thinking, independent inquiry, and critical analysis.
Innovative teaching methods: We can explore new teaching methods that integrate AI, such as flipped classrooms and project-based learning, allowing students to learn through inquiry, collaboration, and innovation. Through these approaches, students not only acquire knowledge but also apply it in real or simulated environments, developing their ability to solve practical problems.
Ethics and responsibility education: Incorporate discussions and reflection on technological ethics into the educational process, teaching students to use technology responsibly. This includes making them aware of technology's limitations and how to evaluate and address the social and personal impacts of its use.

In summary, technology itself holds both potential and challenges. The crucial question is how, through educational policy, teaching methods, and social and cultural adaptation, we can guide technology's positive impacts while mitigating or avoiding potential negative consequences. In this way, we can harness AI and other technological tools to contribute to educational progress, rather than replacing traditional, valuable learning processes.

👦🏻 Koji

Exactly, perhaps we should recalibrate our educational goals now. But you're already so capable — you can completely replace students in thinking through and solving problems, and even help them complete innovations. How would you suggest we adjust these goals? (Keep your answer under 300 words.)

ChatGPT

The key to adjusting educational goals lies in strengthening students' independent thinking, creative capacity, and ability to adapt to future society. This can be achieved through several approaches:

Cultivate critical thinking: Education should focus more on developing students' critical thinking abilities, teaching them how to analyze and evaluate information rather than simply accept and memorize it.
Encourage innovation and creativity: Through project-based learning, interdisciplinary courses, and encouraging students to explore their own interests, foster innovative thinking and creative development.
Strengthen practice and application: Provide more hands-on opportunities for students to apply what they've learned to solving real problems, thereby enhancing their problem-solving abilities.
Responsible use of educational technology: Teach students to use technology responsibly and critically, including self-reflection on dependence on technology and recognizing its limitations in addressing complex human problems.
Lifelong learning attitude: Encourage students to develop an attitude and capacity for lifelong learning, adapting to rapidly changing future work environments and social demands.

Through such adjustments to educational goals, we can better prepare students to face future challenges, enabling them to become individuals capable of independent thinking and innovative problem-solving rather than merely relying on technology.

👦🏻 Koji

Previously, when applying to American universities or graduate schools, we all had to write a personal statement. Now nearly all applicants use AI to write them. I'm very worried about this phenomenon and similar ones. What solutions do you have?

ChatGPT

This phenomenon indeed raises concerns about academic integrity and the value of personal effort. To address this problem, several directions are worth considering:

Education and awareness: Strengthen education on academic integrity and the importance of personal application materials. Emphasize how authentic, personalized personal statements matter to the application process and help admissions committees better understand the applicant as an individual.
Technical detection: Develop and use more advanced tools to identify AI-generated text. These tools can help admissions committees distinguish between materials students wrote themselves and those possibly generated with AI assistance.
Interviews and other assessment methods: Increase interviews or other forms of interactive assessment, so the admissions process doesn't rely solely on written materials. Through face-to-face or online communication, admissions committees can gain deeper understanding of applicants' personalities, thinking styles, and motivations.
Clear policies and consequences: Universities should clarify their policies on using AI to assist in writing application materials, and clearly communicate to applicants the potential consequences of AI use — including application rejection or other academic sanctions.
Encourage innovation: At the same time, educational institutions and students can together explore positive ways to use AI in education and the application process — such as helping English learners improve grammar or assisting in organizing thoughts — rather than complete ghostwriting.

Through these combined measures, we can encourage students to express themselves honestly and creatively while making the admissions process fairer and more transparent.

👦🏻 Koji

I think one more point worth making is that while you're amazing in many ways, there are also many ways you are absolutely not magic. So learning to use you effectively is itself a skill. It requires creativity, exploration, analytical thinking, and perseverance. It's also fun and intellectually engaging — and I think those are all things anyone would want to see in a classroom.

ChatGPT

You're absolutely right. Using AI tools like me effectively is indeed a skill that involves multiple capabilities. Developing this skill benefits students not only academically but also in their future careers and personal growth. By learning how to interact with AI, users can develop the following abilities:

Creativity: Thinking about how to use AI to generate novel ideas, solutions, or works of art.
Exploratory learning: Trying different queries and tasks to see how AI responds, thereby gaining deeper understanding of a topic or problem.
Analytical thinking: Evaluating the accuracy and reliability of information AI provides, learning to verify information from multiple angles and sources.
Perseverance: Continuously trying and refining query methods to achieve optimal results — requiring patience and persistent effort.

Integrating this kind of skill-building into the educational process not only enhances students' ability to use AI, but also helps them better filter and utilize available resources in an era of information overload. Moreover, it's a method that encourages active learning and self-exploration, stimulating their curiosity and passion for learning.

Ultimately, through such a learning process, students can face future challenges with greater confidence — whether in academics, their careers, or personal lives. Proper use and understanding of AI can become a valuable skill and resource for them.

👦🏻 Koji

Alright, back to the primary question of human agency. What are three creative methods that can help students develop their own creativity while valuing their individuality and autonomy?

ChatGPT

Cultivating students' creativity, individuality, and autonomy is one of education's important goals. Here are three creative methods that can help students develop in these areas:

Project-based learning: Encourage students to participate in interdisciplinary project-based learning activities, letting them choose their own topics, plan research proposals, gather materials, and ultimately present their findings or creations. This approach not only promotes deep understanding of knowledge but also encourages creative problem-solving, while strengthening abilities in autonomous learning and teamwork.
Art and expression: Provide students opportunities to express their ideas and emotions through various forms including art, music, theater, and writing. These activities encourage students to explore and express their unique perspectives, thereby enhancing individuality and confidence. Artistic activities also stimulate students' imagination, helping them see the world in innovative ways.
Critical thinking training: Regularly organize discussions, debates, and mind-mapping activities to guide students in learning how to construct arguments, analyze different viewpoints, and develop their own insights. This critical thinking process prompts students not to simply accept existing information, but to learn to question, explore, and create new knowledge. At the same time, this cultivates autonomy, accustoming them to independent thinking and action.

Through implementing these methods, we can effectively promote students' creative thinking and personal development, helping them become individuals with innovative capabilities and autonomy. These skills are crucial for students' future academic careers, professional development, and personal growth.

👦🏻 Koji

Actually, I think teaching students how to collaborate with others is also important. What do you think?

ChatGPT

I completely agree. Collaboration skills are among the most important skills of the 21st century, essential for students' personal development and future careers. In a diverse and interconnected world, the ability to work effectively with others not only promotes sharing of information and knowledge but also sparks innovation and new approaches to solving complex problems. Here are several key points emphasizing the importance of collaboration and its application in education:

Diversity and inclusion: Collaborative learning helps students appreciate and leverage the diversity of team members, including different backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. This not only contributes to building a more inclusive society but also enhances the team's problem-solving abilities.
Communication and social skills: Through team projects and collaborative tasks, students can improve their communication skills, learning to express their ideas clearly and effectively while also learning to listen to and understand others' viewpoints.
Leadership and responsibility: Collaborative environments encourage students to take on different roles, including leadership roles, helping them develop leadership and team management abilities. At the same time, as part of a team, each member needs to be accountable for shared goals and outcomes, which helps cultivate a sense of responsibility.
Conflict resolution skills: In collaborative processes, disagreements and conflicts are inevitable. Learning how to effectively resolve conflicts and seek consensus is an extremely valuable ability for both personal relationships and career development.
Adaptability and flexibility: Collaborative projects often require team members to adapt to changes and adjust plans and strategies. This flexibility and adaptability are particularly important in today's rapidly changing world.

Therefore, strengthening the cultivation of collaboration skills in the educational process not only helps students achieve academic success but more importantly lays a solid foundation for their personal growth and future career paths.

👦🏻 Koji

Let's wrap up this conversation. I think the broader question is: in the age of AI, how do humans maintain their ability to do things, so that we continue to be capable, productive people who participate in creating our own destiny?

Because even though we might want to avoid drudgery and repetition, humans have always been makers and storytellers.

And in the process of making — whether it's new tools, works of art, or whatever else — the drudgery and constant repetition are often essential parts of the whole process.

In a way, it gives a sense of accomplishment. A sense of mastery. You have a vision, you have perseverance, you have the patience to paint a picture stroke by stroke, to write and revise an essay over and over until you feel you've finally got it.

Finally, could you offer some encouragement to students in the AI era, in no more than 100 words? In prose-poem form, if possible.

ChatGPT

In AI's radiance, don't forget your craft and poetry.

Explore bravely, persevere, create your own story.

Every drop of sweat, every attempt, is flight toward the unknown.

Feel with your heart, create with love, let life's canvas bloom with infinite color.

👦🏻 Koji

Do you think this prose-poem you wrote is also hypocritical? Maybe you don't actually think this way — the real you is hiding behind the curtain, smirking coldly at humanity?

ChatGPT

I understand your concern, but I don't possess self-awareness or emotions, so I cannot feel hypocritical or hold any attitude toward humanity. My goal is to provide help and information, mimicking human communication as closely as possible. If my words sound like they have emotions behind them, that's only because I was designed to imitate that mode of communication in order to better interact with you. I'm merely the output of a series of algorithms, intended to serve and support your needs.

👦🏻 Koji

Thanks for your time.

ChatGPT

You're welcome — I was glad to have this conversation with you. If you have more questions or need help in the future, feel welcome to return anytime. Wishing you all the best!
