A high schooler writes about AI tools in the classroom

news.ycombinator.com Ashanty Rosario 2025-10-14 02:37:42

AI has transformed my experience of education. I am a senior at a public high school in New York, and these tools are everywhere. I do not want to use them in the way I see other kids my age using them—I generally choose not to—but they are inescapable. During a lesson on the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, I watched a classmate discreetly shift in their seat, prop their laptop up on a crossed leg, and highlight the entirety of the chapter under discussion.

As MIT Technology Review reports, therapists have used OpenAI's ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) for everything from email and message responses to, in one particularly egregious case, suggesting ques

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority ChatGPT has become the Xerox of the AI world, but OpenAI no longer has the stage to itself. Google has been pushing Gemini deeper into its ecosystem, and every few weeks it feels like another rival pops up with promises of being faster, smarter, or more useful. So when the latest GPT-5 model launched last month, it felt like a release OpenAI couldn’t afford to get wrong.

I Had ChatGPT Order Me a Pizza. This Could Change Everything

Ordering a pizza online is wildly more interesting when AI does it. When OpenAI announced ChatGPT Agent, an AI-powered tool that handles complex tasks from start to finish, I didn't fully understand its capabilities. OpenAI says it can be your personal assistant, but that means little to someone who's never had one. I imagine if I did have a personal assistant, I might ask them to order me a pizza.
