Education has repeatedly struggled with technologies that perform work students were previously expected to do unaided.

What if assessment placed more emphasis on whether students can verify, explain and defend their work rather than simply whether they produced it without assistance?

This article looks at the historical parallels.

Cornell Chronicle: Cornell expands AI Critical Literacy Program for incoming students. “After a successful pilot launch in the spring, Cornell’s AI Critical Literacy Program will be offered in the fall to all incoming students as well as other interested students, faculty members and staff. The expanded program will feature four modules – ‘What is Generative AI?’; ‘Ethical Questions […]

University of Duisburg-Essen and machine-translated from German: Dealing with antisemitism and Holocaust distortion on social media. “At the heart of the program is an approximately 15-minute online game that immerses participants in a realistic social media environment. There, they encounter antisemitic and Holocaust-distorting content in the same form as it is disseminated on social networks. […]

The educator panic over AI is real, and rational.
I've been there myself. The difference is I moved past denial to a more pragmatic question: since AI regulation seems unlikely (with both camps refusing to engage), how do we actually work with these systems?

The "AI will kill critical thinking" crowd has a point, but they're missing context.
Critical reasoning wasn't exactly thriving before AI arrived: just look around. The real question isn't whether AI threatens thinking skills, but whether we can leverage it the same way we leverage other cognitive tools.

We don't hunt our own food or walk everywhere anymore.
We use supermarkets and cars. Most of us Google instead of visiting libraries. Each tool trade-off changed how we think and what skills matter. AI is the next step in this progression, if we're smart about it.

The key is learning to think with AI rather than being replaced by it.
That means understanding both its capabilities and our irreplaceable human advantages.

AI isn't going anywhere. Time to get strategic:
Instead of mourning lost critical thinking skills, let's build on them through cognitive delegation—using AI as a thinking partner, not a replacement.

This isn't some Silicon Valley fantasy:
Three decades of cognitive research already mapped out how this works:

Cognitive Load Theory:
Our brains can only juggle so much at once. Let AI handle the grunt work while you focus on making meaningful connections.

Distributed Cognition:
Naval crews don't navigate with individual genius—they spread thinking across people, instruments, and procedures. AI becomes another crew member in your cognitive system.

Zone of Proximal Development
We learn best with expert guidance bridging what we can't quite do alone. AI can serve as that "more knowledgeable other" (though it's still early days).
The table below shows what this looks like in practice:

Critical reasoning vs Cognitive Delegation

Old School Focus:

Building internal cognitive capabilities and managing cognitive load independently.

Cognitive Delegation Focus:

Orchestrating distributed cognitive systems while maintaining quality control over AI-augmented processes.

We can still go for a jog or go hunt our own deer, but for reaching the stars we, the Apes do what Apes do best: Use tools to build on our cognitive abilities. AI is a tool.

I think I need to take a vacation from snark - call it a "snarcation". It's not good if you want to make your way into #communication. Don't get me wrong, it's fun and very cathartic - but there lies the problem.

To become a low threshold #tech #communicator requires a bit of finessing and diplomacy. We need to spread #digitalliteracy far and wide, because it is so important.

The core rule there is that your attitude is everything, and despite what some may think, it can be read as well.
