Change Agents with Ethan Mollick: How AI agents will reinvent productivity

[@hydrakn]

Really enjoyed Ethan's book, its changed how my team functions day to day for the better. We're more productive and now have a great open dialog on the ever evolving use cases for AI in our deliverables

[@HealthTokLLC]

Such a crucial ad important conversation, and Ethan is one of the best to lead this!

I use it as my study buddy in any subject, it's the best.

Is a system that use Search API to fetch news and a model API like gemini to summarize it, then send the Summary on your email in a good written format is that an Agent system?

Prof does lots of tests and post the results. Not just focus on the theory part.

The assertion that GenAI won't displace teachers as much as people imagine is ... well, frankly hopium. I have grandchildren which I frequently engage in instruction (teaching). I can say from personal experience that GenAI will make teachers largely irrelevant unless they switch their focus away from the act of teaching people to building GenAI solutions that teach people. Because of GenAI, I can provide a much more effective engagement, where the agent engages in training/instruction instead of me. I'm still involved, but in reality, my presence isn't essential. AI agents have far more bandwidth, patience, and breadth of knowledge that any "teacher" that I've ever had or even seen in real life. If you're a teacher, this probably isn't what you want to believe, but if you look at this from the betterment of humanity, it's a game changer.

AI can't train experiences and living the day to day nuances of life's journey at work or home. You would have to train a model that's personalized to a particular person's job function, that's going to be radical and extremely difficult

[@merlingrim2843]

@@jmichalak214 so from my personal ”experience” as a learner and an instructor, the journey bit comes from subjecting the student to environment where they apply knowledge and gain hands on experience while the instructor helps to avoid catastrophic outcomes. Most teaching environments in schools never actually do this bit. Apprenticeships and to some extent the technical trade schools (military as well) provide this. In any event, as one who is currently working to build solutions with the new GenAI capabilities, I’m not certain about your claim.

You can basically see the guy reading the questions from the screen, but has no idea what he is talking about. So you basically cut the video every 15 seconds and there is no real dialogue here.
