As we kind of discussed what 26 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 2: AI is and kind of some misinformation we might have, 27 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 2: and a really good foundation for us as Christian parents 28 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: as we are beginning to navigate what this looks like 29 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 2: in the world and to do so with integrity. So, Tara, 30 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to let you give a quick intro and 31 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: tell us why you are the one that we are 32 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: talking to about this. You mentioned it last week, but 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: I want to mention it again so if we have 34 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: new listeners they'll be sure to know. 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 3: Okay, my name is Tara L. 36 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: Cole. 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: I've been an educator for almost twenty years. At the 38 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 3: college level. I teach writing, So AI into sex would 39 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: I do a lot nowadays. Also, I have three sons 40 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 3: who are in high school and middle school, so they 41 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: are at the ages where they are starting to experiment 42 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: with it or it's in a lot of apps that 43 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 3: they use already, so we're running into it in our 44 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 3: home and our day to day life. I also presented 45 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: on it earlier this year at some Magic Hair conferences, 46 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 3: and I have had so many professional development sessions over 47 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 3: the last year over AI and I just want to 48 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 3: be able to share the information with parents and pass 49 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 3: on good solid information to them. 50 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you've actually created a newsletter and a website 51 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: where you're sharing that information. 52 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: Go ahead and tell us about that. 53 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 3: Right last fall, when I realized all the bad information 54 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: that parents were getting, or the fearful information, I started 55 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: a newsletter in January called the AI Awareness Hub. You 56 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 3: can sign up for it at AI awareness hub dot 57 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 3: com and it's basically subtitle is what parents needed to 58 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 3: know Yesterday, so right now. It's a monthly newsletter that 59 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: comes out the first Monday of every month, and it 60 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 3: just gives you an overview of information that you needed 61 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: to know the basic of AI. I open it up 62 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 3: for questions, so if you have questions, then you can 63 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 3: submit those and now I answer them in a future newsletter. 64 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 3: But basically, it just gives you good solid information from 65 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: good solid sources, so you know where to go instead 66 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: of trying to find it from John Smith in his 67 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 3: basement or something like that. Because as a writing teacher, 68 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: I'm always saying look for credible sources. 69 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: I love it. 70 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: I love it, and Tara is a credible source for 71 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 2: us here at Million Praying Mom. She's a long term 72 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: contributor to the ministry here, a co labor with Brooke 73 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: and now with me, and so we're so grateful for 74 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: her voice on our podcast regularly this fall. She's hosting 75 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: every Monday on the podcast as we're going through her 76 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: everyday prayers for the school year together. It's our favorite 77 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: book to pull out every August to begin this school 78 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: year with praying scripture over our kids. And so, Tara, 79 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: we're just so glad that you're here to talk to 80 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: us today about this. I just want to jump right 81 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: in because last time we ran out of time because 82 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: we have so much to say about this. There's so 83 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: much that we could be learning together. So I just 84 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: want to open with this broad question, what do you 85 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: wish every parent understood about AI before this school year begins. 86 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 3: I guess one thing I would tell every parent is 87 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: to be aware of all the places it is and 88 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 3: how your kids are using it, because, like I mentioned 89 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 3: on the last episode, I noticed after several weeks that 90 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: it was in the group me app that my kids 91 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 3: used for some activity at school and used for the 92 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 3: youth group. I was able to go in there and 93 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 3: turn off Copilot in the group me app. I'm sure 94 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: if they really wanted to, they could probably turn it 95 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: back on, but I went ahead and turned it off 96 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 3: because I didn't want them have access to it all 97 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 3: the time, especially at the ages they were at the time. 98 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 3: And so just be aware of everywhere it is, and 99 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: be aware of how your kids are using it. Have 100 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 3: conversations with them about how they are using it. Tell 101 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: them that they need to not give it all the 102 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 3: information about them, especially since a lot of them you 103 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: can talk to nowadays right there in the apps. You 104 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: don't have to type out everything you're saying. So even 105 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: really little kids who are pre writing, if they accidentally 106 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: connect with it, they can talk back and forth to it. 107 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 3: And they just need to be aware, starting at a 108 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: young age, that everything you give it it uses to 109 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: train the machine, especially if you're not on the paid account, 110 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: and it can give you bad information because it does 111 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 3: not discern between good and bad information. It just guesses 112 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 3: at what it thinks you want to hear. Somebody described 113 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 3: it as it throwing at a ball at a wall 114 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: and hoping it gets the answer right. And so just 115 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: be aware that it's not an authority and it is 116 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 3: not your friend. I have to remind my students and 117 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 3: even my kids about it. Yes, we want you to 118 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 3: use it responsibly. Quite honestly, as some of you are 119 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 3: finding out your jobs in the workforce, they will have 120 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: to know how to use it reas responsibly. But it 121 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: is not your friend, even though it sounds friendly. 122 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's so good. 123 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: And you shared with us on the last episode about 124 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: this Harvard study that came out last year identifying so 125 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 2: many young people looking to AI for friendship and even 126 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: romantic relationships because it's an easy friendship. And that's so true, 127 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: and we want what's easy so often the time. So 128 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 2: you know, as you're kind of navigating this with your kids, 129 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: we don't want to live in fear. Like we said, 130 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: this is not a conversation to make us all be 131 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: fearful of AI. We just want to be aware and 132 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: we want to be smart and have discernment towards what 133 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 2: we're doing. 134 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: In your home. 135 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: You said you kind of went into that app and 136 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: turned that off for your boys at that point. Should 137 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: families have AI rules at home? And what might those 138 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: look like for families? 139 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 3: This would completely be based on your family type and 140 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 3: where you are in your technology use. For example, as 141 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 3: I was telling Nicolette before we started recording, quite honestly, 142 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 3: we use Amazon Alexa all the time. We have multiple 143 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: ones in our home for clocks, and I use it 144 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 3: for grocery lists, music, turning on off lights. But I'm 145 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 3: married to an av engineer, so that's why we're so 146 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 3: hooked up with it. But you just need to be 147 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: a where the conversations your kids are having with it, 148 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 3: you need to remind them that, like I've just mentioned, 149 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: it sounds friendly, but it is not your friend. Because 150 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 3: before I even knew it, one of my sons was 151 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 3: talking back and forth to it quite often, and in 152 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: a lot of the apps. I know, in the Alexa app, 153 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 3: I was able to go back and kind of see 154 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: those conversations, so I knew where to start talking to him. 155 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 3: And a lot of the other apps, it saves the conversations, 156 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 3: I think in almost all of them, it saves the 157 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: conversation so you can go back and research it. So 158 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: if your kids already has gotten ahead of you and 159 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: is using it a lot of times, you can go 160 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: back and see what they've already been talking about. But 161 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: I told Nekhlete, it's hard to have rules like you 162 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: do for cell phones because you can physically hand a 163 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: cell phone to your child, or an iPad or another device. 164 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: AI is everywhere. It's even in our cars, and so 165 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 3: it's coming into so much of the stuff we use 166 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 3: every day. It really needs to be a different conversation 167 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 3: than allowing or not allowing. It really needs to be 168 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: a becoming AI aware in literate from a really young age. 169 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: So good. 170 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, my four year old knows how to 171 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: tell I'm gonna whisper her name because she's probably listening 172 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 2: right there in my other room, Alexa how to play 173 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 2: her favorite songs. Right She's heard us do that in 174 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 2: the kitchen and she's already picked up on that. And 175 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: we are kind of maybe even like hyper technology aware 176 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: in our home, and so you know, she she's kind 177 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: of I noticed her playing with her stuffies the other 178 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 2: day and it was one of their birthdays, and you know, 179 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 2: one of them, she gave them a present of an 180 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: iPad and it was like, wow, she gets an iPad 181 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 2: where ours, our little girl does not have an iPad. 182 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: And so she's like, you get an. 183 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 4: iPad for your birthday to her favorite stuffy And so 184 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 4: it's just, you know, even though we're not speaking that 185 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 4: into her at home, she's being influenced outside of our home, 186 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 4: and that is a good thing. 187 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: That that's a value, that that's a prize to be 188 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 2: given on your birthday, right, and so that was just 189 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: so interesting for me to observe that with her at 190 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 2: such a young age, such a young age. So we 191 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 2: just yeah, being aware so so so important. Okay, So 192 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: I want to transition a little bit to the school 193 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 2: conversation because we're talking about back to school. You're an educator, 194 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 2: You've been navigating this in your classroom. What are some 195 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 2: red flags that are children or students may be becoming 196 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 2: too dependent on AI. 197 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 3: I would say, if you're noticing that they get complicated, 198 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 3: assignment's done very quickly, that is a good red flag 199 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 3: that maybe something's going on here. Because some of my students, yes, 200 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 3: they are flat out cheaty and trying to take shortcuts. 201 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 3: There's always those students. However, some of our students they're 202 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 3: not trying to cheat necessarily, they just don't know how 203 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 3: to use it correctly. They just aren't aware of the limitations. 204 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 3: They aren't aware that the more they use it and 205 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 3: the more they use it to think for them, it's 206 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 3: taking away their critical thinking skills, which are really going 207 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 3: to differentiate especially I think in the next I would 208 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 3: say five to ten years, maybe even sooner. Those who 209 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 3: use AI when my friends called it consuming, those who 210 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 3: just consume it and use it for all the answers 211 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: and stop thinking critically themselves or shortcut that process, versus 212 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 3: those who learned to create collaborate with it to do 213 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 3: what they do faster and better and to a higher level, 214 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 3: because it can take care of the tedious test that 215 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 3: they are doing. Like you said, last interview, used it 216 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 3: to make interview questions. Sometimes at the podcast during the past, 217 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 3: I've spent like thirty minutes or more, maybe even longer, 218 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 3: trying a couple of good interview questions. It made that 219 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: process so much easier, and we're still having a good conversation. 220 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 3: But you're an expert. You knew what good interview questions 221 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 3: looked like. 222 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 2: And I went through them, and I threw some out, 223 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 2: and I added some of my own and I injected 224 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: my own tone, and you know, yes, but it did 225 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: help me just kind of brainstorm, and my. 226 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 3: Brainstorm got great use of AI. First off, I would say, 227 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: make sure you know what your students teachers restrictions are 228 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 3: some of them and I've know some for we're in 229 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 3: a pretty solid school district. And one that is very 230 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 3: high tech in advanced. But even those teachers at least 231 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 3: last year, weren't introducing AI into their classrooms. I would 232 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 3: guess they had a zero tolerance policy to where they 233 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 3: are using it. So be aware of what your students, 234 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 3: your children's teachers' rules are about it, because that's for 235 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 3: where you need to start first, because if they aren't 236 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 3: allowing it, then you don't want to allow your encourage 237 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 3: your kids to use it at all. If they are 238 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 3: allowing it, depending on to the decree to which they are, 239 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 3: then just be kind of go side by side with them. 240 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 3: Play with it yourself, because like we mentioned, brainstorming ideas 241 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: is a fantastic way to use it. Using grammarly even 242 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: to help you with your own emails and conversations is 243 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 3: a great way to use it. Revising information like having 244 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: Gemini or I used Gemini the most often. I practiced 245 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 3: with three of them on and off for probably about 246 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: six months and decide that's the one I like the most. 247 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 3: It's also integrated with all things Google, and so it 248 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: just makes it a lot easier for me and what 249 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 3: I use it for. So yeah, like Nikolett was just 250 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 3: mationing with the interview questions, play with it yourself, get 251 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: used to using it in the ways that their teachers 252 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 3: might be encouraging them to use it, and then research 253 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 3: is an excellent place to start with it because with 254 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 3: Google or with other databases, you have to get your 255 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 3: questions exactly right, where with AI you don't have to 256 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: get your questions exactly right. And so if you have 257 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 3: a vague idea of what you're looking for, it can 258 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 3: return a lot of information from a lot of sources quickly. 259 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 3: You just need to verify those sources and the URLs, 260 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 3: because like I mentioned last episode, it can hallucinate and 261 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 3: give you really bad information. But it's a great place 262 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 3: as a jumping off place to start research. And if 263 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 3: your children have to cite anything, I love going to 264 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 3: Gemini and dropping in the URL and saying cite this 265 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 3: in MLA seventh edition. It does a pretty darn good job. 266 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 3: And I just compare it to the Purdue our website 267 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 3: to make sure everything's correct. But it makes citations and 268 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 3: stuff like that so much easier and so faster. 269 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 2: Wow, that's a great use for it. I just did 270 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 2: not do that in the project. I was just working 271 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: on them like that is a great idea. I make it, 272 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 2: I want to use it for that. I will put 273 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 2: that in my noggin to use next time. But yeah, 274 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 2: finding ways that are non threatening to begin to teach 275 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: our children, just like we do about so many other 276 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: things in life, right, Like we we start small with 277 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: our kids and teaching them how to do things, and 278 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 2: we kind of walk alongside them and lead them in that. 279 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 2: And we need to be doing the same thing with 280 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: technology because we want to be the place that they're 281 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: getting their information from. We don't want somebody else to 282 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: be really in charge of the information that our children 283 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: are consuming in regards to this. We want to kind 284 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: of set the boundaries in the place for that in 285 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: our homes. And that's an intimidating thing when we can 286 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: feel overwhelmed right out. Love that your newsletter you're sending 287 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 2: out is entitled what you needed to know Yesterday, because 288 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: that's so often and how we feel as moms, right 289 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: it's like. 290 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: WHOA, this is changing so fast? Like how can I 291 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: keep up with this? 292 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: What encouragement would you give to a mom who just 293 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: feels overwhelmed? 294 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: I also tell you to release any of that, because yes, 295 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 3: I tidled subtitled AI Awareness Hub What parents needed to 296 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 3: know Yesterday because the information is coming so fast. One 297 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: of my colleagues at my school likes to say, and 298 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 3: he tells us quite often that AI is changing at 299 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 3: such a fast rate that technology like the iPhone and 300 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 3: other devices were years in the making to the next 301 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 3: version and things like that. So a twenty four hour 302 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 3: period with AI is like the years it used to 303 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 3: take a iPhone or iPad or Android to update. So 304 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: you will not stay on top of it. Quite honestly, 305 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 3: even as an educator and all the information that I'm getting, 306 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 3: I will not stay on. 307 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,479 Speaker 1: Top of it. 308 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 3: It's just important that if you want to use it, 309 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 3: maybe do what I did. Play around with a few 310 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 3: of the big ones. If you're like me, you might 311 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 3: even have Copilot available to you through your workplace because 312 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,479 Speaker 3: if they pay for the Microsoft Suite, Copilot's part of that. Oftentimes, 313 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 3: Chat GPT is a good one to play with, just 314 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 3: so you're aware, because that's usually the ones kids go 315 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 3: to first if they get to pick and it's not 316 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 3: already integrated into something. And then I use Google so much, 317 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 3: I just use Jim and I Claude. Like we mentioned 318 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 3: last time, is another good one. But just pick a 319 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 3: few and play around with them. I would, even when 320 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 3: I was using them last fall, ask the same question 321 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 3: to several of them and see what feedback. I God, Yeah, 322 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 3: sometimes all of them have different tones and personalities, which 323 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 3: is sad to say. You really want to avoid personifying them, 324 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 3: but it's really hard not to, and so play around 325 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 3: with it yourself. Get familiar with one or two, especially 326 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 3: if your kids are using one specifically for school or 327 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 3: you're allowing them to use one for personal use. Be 328 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 3: familiar with that one. But don't try to be an 329 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 3: expert on everything. You can't possibly be an expert on 330 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 3: anything everything unless I use your day job, and even 331 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 3: then it's not really possible. So release any guilt. It 332 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 3: is not like your phone or the internet or or 333 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 3: iPad or something like that you have a prayer of 334 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 3: staying on top of. It's not like that at all. 335 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 3: It's changing so fast that even the experts are not 336 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 3: experts by the time they wake up tomorrow morning. 337 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 338 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: Wow, that's really good advice, and just that reminder of 339 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 2: that can be almost scary to hear that. But as 340 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 2: you're saying, like, we just can release that as moms 341 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: to God, who knows way more than any software would 342 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 2: ever know or even think about knowing, right, And so 343 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: we can remind ourselves that God is the ultimate knowledge 344 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 2: giver and he is the holder of all knowledge, and 345 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: so when we release that to him, we can begin 346 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: to trust Him to help us navigate our kids. 347 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: So I would just encourage moms, this. 348 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 2: Is the Everyday Prayers podcast as we talk about let's 349 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 2: start praying about this. What can we begin to pray 350 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 2: for our children and our families that would help us 351 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 2: to begin to. 352 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: Navigate this in our home. 353 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 2: I think you know the first is Lord, give us 354 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: wisdom and how to talk about this and how to 355 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: play with this in our home. Show us how you 356 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 2: want us to live in this world you have placed 357 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 2: us in. 358 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: What prayers come to your mind, Terry, or what do 359 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: you pray for your boys? 360 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 3: One that I heard just even a few weeks ago, 361 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 3: Priscilla Shire was on I don't know if it was 362 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 3: a podcast, I know it was an interview, but this 363 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 3: was just a short clip from that interview. But she 364 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 3: was talking about how when her sons were little and 365 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 3: teenagers that she would just pray, God, please let anything 366 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 3: I need to know float to the surface because she 367 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 3: would check their devices. I do what I call a 368 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 3: phone check every now and then I'll just say, hand 369 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 3: me your phone. We're doing a phone check. And my 370 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 3: kids know to expect that because we've made it the 371 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 3: culture of our home. I told them before they even 372 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 3: had phones. Dad and I have passwords to every count 373 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 3: each other has to all our devices. In this household, 374 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 3: we hold each other accountable. So yes, while you live here, 375 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 3: your devices, your passwords are going to be open to us. 376 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 3: When you move out, you can have a different accountability partner. 377 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 3: So we made it a culture and not a privacy invasion. 378 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 3: But also just that you are having these conversations with them, 379 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 3: but even as you're checking those you can't possibly come 380 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 3: across everything that they have access to. It's not possible 381 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,959 Speaker 3: to keep up with all of it. So I loved 382 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 3: her prayer when she said, God just helped float to 383 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 3: the surface whatever I need to know or see. And 384 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 3: another one of my friends praise for their child, God, 385 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 3: please help them get caught. So if they're doing something 386 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 3: they should not be doing, help them get caught. And 387 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 3: that child was like, how do you guys always know 388 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 3: when I'm doing something? Wrong, and she was like, I'm 389 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 3: praying for it. 390 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: I pray for that. I love that. 391 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 2: That is so great, and I love that prayer from 392 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 2: Priscilla that floating to what's a good way to word it. Yeah, 393 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: if we believe in the Holy Spirit, like we believe 394 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 2: in the power, that he can do that for us, 395 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: and that he will do that for us because God 396 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 2: is after the hearts of our children, and we get 397 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 2: to partner with him, and that what a privilege and 398 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 2: an honor it is. And I know as moms sometimes 399 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 2: look like right now, I have a six month old, 400 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 2: so I feel like I can barely like brush my 401 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 2: teeth and empty the dishwasher, much less think about all 402 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 2: of these things that my my almost five year old 403 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 2: is beginning to get exposure to. But I have to 404 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 2: think about those things for her because as much as 405 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 2: God is after her heart, we have an enemy who 406 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 2: is after her as well.
