A common critical complaint about AI in education is it's not supported by evidence. However, evidence *is* being produced, just not by the normal standards, through conventional methods, or by independent evaluators. New post on evidence experiments codeactsineducation.wordpress.com/2026/08/10/e...

“The message that I always bring when I have a chance is that, when the text that comes out of one of these systems makes sense, it’s because we are making sense of it. This is also in the stochastic parrots paper.”
