I am a big fan of the #MysteryAIHypeTheater3000 , everyone should give it a listen, it is always interesting.
I do wish we would stop using the phrase (word?) "AI" as it strongly implies that it actually is that when it is clearly not.
I also do have to keep reminding myself that there are many applications where running huge numbers of mathematical correlations and other models make perfect sense and are very useful (for example investigating proteins or deciphering ancient documents). I almost feel that all the AI hype is actually hurting those kinds of applications by distracting engineers into thinking that having computers write travelogues in the place of people who have actually been to the place is much more profitable.
Agreed - there are plenty of useful and helpful applications of "AI" (more often actually machine learning or even just adjusted regression techniques). The term "AI" is become a "catch-all" that means everything and nothing.
As part of my dissertation project, I'm aiming to collect a large research sample to help construct a validated measure on Teacher Attitudes towards Multilingualism.
If you are a teacher (primary, secondary, tertiary education), and you teach multilingual students, could I please ask for 10 minutes of your time?
