This week, I've gotten a couple of AI generated assignments that may have broken me. It really hurt to "read" them. Not even anger. Just a bleak sense of solitude. Standing alone on the vast, treeless plain. The wind makes a noise, but it is not human speech.

i know it won’t help this particular situation, but i plan to start your letter today. & i know that feeling of desolation when encountering something so far from your own…love of the world & the words. like someone’s trying to erase you & that love. i’m sorry.💚

What would happen if you say those exact same words to your students? It might get through.
