Thinking like an AI teacher

Rough draft in progress. Notes toward a post, not the finished thing.

Two lenses for building learning tools. As a teacher: know the learner, assess gently, actually care that they progress. As a technologist: every early AI product is skeuomorphic, so you change one variable at a time to find what's genuinely new.

What it'll cover

• The teacher's job, reframed as product requirements
• Why every early AI product is skeuomorphic
• Changing one variable at a time to escape the skeuomorph
• What a non-skeuomorphic learning product might look like
