When the Computer Started Teaching Instead of Me

For more than twenty-five years, I stood in front of classrooms, teaching people how to think, program, and solve problems. I watched technologies come and go, programming languages rise and fall, and revolutions that promised to change the world. But nothing prepared me for the moment I realized that the computer was beginning to do what I had always considered my job.

In this personal, humorous, and thought-provoking talk, I invite you to join me on a journey through my own encounter with the AI revolution. Through stories from the classroom, surprising examples, and live demonstrations, we'll explore how technology is changing not only the way we work and learn, but also the way we see ourselves.

What happens when the knowledge we've spent years acquiring is suddenly just one question away from a machine? Is the computer about to replace us, or could it actually free us to focus on what truly matters? And what remains uniquely human in a world where machines are becoming increasingly intelligent?

This is not a talk about how to use ChatGPT. It's about what happens to us when we start using it.
