This is really helpful and thanks for your compilation of AI tools for educators. Regarding design-thinking -- and your overall takeaways 'AI to build; human intelligence to go farther...deeper...faster.' For #1: Discovery, this makes a lot of sense especially using AI to summarize existing data WAY faster. Then, you can spend more time and *better time* on the juicy parts of a human-centered design "discovery" process such as direct observations, interviews, and empathy experiences (to borrow from IDEO's model). Likewise with #3: Presentation - which can be super time consuming and generally doesn't feel generative. Regarding #2: Ideation & Design, I wonder what you've seen about how AI impacts creativity in the divergence phase(s). From what I understand, AI really can only draw from ideas and data that already exist, so I wonder what its limitations are when it comes to ideation and especially innovation. What safeguards can be put in place in how we use AI so we don't inhibit original thinking?

How have you found it as a research tool? It has not met my expectations thus far. Too many made up responses.

Yeah, it’s VERY good at hallucinating research. I’ve made some progress with solid prompting, though: https://open.substack.com/pub/drphilippahardman/p/the-librarian?r=1f56d2&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

Have you heard Decktopus Ai ? This app is very useful when you are preapre for your presentations. It helps you to prepare the presentation in a short time.
