Baratunde demystifies A.I. and makes it personal with a wide range of guests: entrepreneurs, artists, policymakers, technologists, business leaders, creators, educators, and scientists. Maybe even an A.I. or two. Everyone should have a say in where technologies like A.I. take us, not just a handful of people in California who think nitro cold brew on tap should be a human right. Join us in candid conversations and fun experiments, as we imagine and co-create our life, with machines.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-12T04:19:49.600155+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-machines-7014298"},"episode":{"title":"The Real Reason Students Cheat Using AI","slug":"the-real-reason-students-cheat-using-ai","published_at":"2025-12-01T22:03:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-machines-7014298/the-real-reason-students-cheat-using-ai","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-machines-7014298","url":"https://newsletter.lifewithmachines.media/","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/FTTLI1944968282.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Life With Machines, we explore the widespread issue of students using AI to cheat in school, and ask the hard question: Is this just laziness, or is it reflective of a deeper problem within the modern education system? We dug deeper into the impact of artificial intelligence on school systems and why using ChatGPT to do your homework may not be the problem itself, but a symptom of a bigger issue. ------------ LINKS MENTIONED Episode 1 ESAI Khan Academy Khanmigo Brisk Teaching Graidients NotebookLM Other resources not mentioned in the episode: The Learner Studio The Rithm Project The Center for Digital Thriving at Harvard's Graduate School of Education ------------ Follow us!
