Thanks Nafez, an interesting article. In particular your "pedagogy-first" comment. Not all teaching leads to learning (so is it really teaching!) and words on a page don't equate to understanding, application or critical analysis. Educators do now need to be more creative with their assessment methodology and this is a good thing. Hopefully it will also lead to a greater emphasis on skills based curricula rather than knowledge based ones.
I agree that LLMs could allow teachers to have more time to devote to think about how to deepen learning. It’s also interesting to think about how LLMs might affect what forms of knowledge are more valuable. Just as Google has affected our memory (there is an article by B Sparrow on this).
In the Arab world, this does not work, because these oppressively king regimes want to dictate lies and propaganda, and not create generations of smart people, they want people to be stupid naïve slaves, not smart people, smart people will over through them immediately.

Thanks Nafez. This completely changed my perspective on generative AI , Especially in the Middle East.
