I've seen so many teachers bring this up, when talking about AI, that I felt I had to mention it. highplainsdem Thursday #40

I'm guessing no. Like it doesn't occur to Airbnb users LisaM Thursday #19

True all too frequently. Often they tell themselves everyone else is doing it, it's inevitable, etc. highplainsdem Thursday #38
