Tarquinn Curry discusses the importance of prompting skills, detecting bias, and critical thinking in the age of AI. He emphasizes the need for human skills like communication and collaboration, which AI cannot replicate. Curry highlights tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Studio for educational purposes, such as creating study guides, podcasts, and visual aids. He notes that AI can help students learn efficiently and create content, but warns of potential ethical issues, such as AI chat bots and data privacy. Curry advocates for integrating AI into education to give students a competitive advantage.

TD Flenaugh (00:00):
TD, artificial intelligence is a tool that is
(00:06):
being used to help elevate humanproduction, and it also is
changing the face of productionand even replacing some jobs.
Hi. Thank you so much forjoining the Falling for Learning
Podcast. We have this podcast tohelp parents and caregivers with
having the resources, strategiesand tools needed to make sure
(00:29):
that their children are on trackfor learning and to stay on
track for success. So youobviously, you know, have a lot
of expertise. What are thoseskills? You mentioned it earlier
that they we need to really behelping them develop.
Tarquinn Curry (00:46):
Kids need to understand prompting skills.
It's, that's, it's a skill set.
If I want chat GPT to give me alesson from my fifth grade
science class, the first thingI'm going to say is, I'm going
to give it a role. I'm going tosay, act as a 25 year veteran
fifth grade science teacher, andthe AI will take on that role.
(01:08):
You always gotta give the AI arole. You always gotta. You
always so it'll, it'll take onthat role you always have to
give the AI like, how do youwant it produced? You want any
bullet points you want as aparagraph Do you want? Because
it'll just assume you alwaysgotta give the A gotta give the
AI context, okay, you're ateacher. It knows you're a
teacher, but you're teachinginner city schools. You teach.
You know people who get the bestresults are those who know how
(01:29):
to prompt.
TD Flenaugh (01:32):
So the first skill is prompting. Is the second
skill the detecting the bias, ordetecting it.
Tarquinn Curry (01:38):
So the second skill is detecting bias. The
third one is critical thinkers.
And you can use the AI to helpyou to be a critical thinker,
like you can have the AI like Isaid, produce both sides of a
debate, and you could analyzeit. But just finding ways to
help the kids to be criticalthinkers being collaborative,
that's another skill, becausewhat's going to happen is, when
(02:03):
it's AI, everything you knowhuman skills are going to be at
a premium. Like, you gottathink, okay, what can the AI not
do? Like, what skill like? So,being collaborative, being a
people person, knowing how tocommunicate, right? Teaching
kids. I'll give you a perfectexample communication too.
(02:24):
That's a huge one. Is teachingkids how to be effective
communicators, because the AI,even though they're getting
better, right, they're it'sgetting better with the voices
and the, you know, chat bots andcommunicating with people, it's
not a human so teaching kids,and you know how to be effective
communicators by a simple one, Itell parents, is how you know,
(02:48):
and it can visually, see andhear everything. It's free. And
you know, it could be a debatecoach. It could be but you can
use that to help you with yourcommunication. I do with my
kids. I have them, I say, Irecord them giving a speech
about whatever topic, and we putit in. I tell the AI act as a 45
year expert debate coach, and Iwant you to analyze their entire
(03:11):
speech, and then I have it,voice it to them in a podcast.
And make, I make a podcast outof it. You listen to a car
driving, you know, and so, butcommunication, so communication
is another skill that's going tobe very important, yes, because,
you know, so creativity,communication, working with in a
team setting, these are humanskills. So you have to, we have
(03:36):
to really develop those humanskills. It's funny, Barack Obama
gave a speech a few months ago.
You know, for the past 15 years,it's been, go go into STEM,
right? Going to science,technology, engineering and
math. Don't go into thehumanities. That's kind of been
the thing, right? Yeah, andObama said he goes, even though
(03:59):
I'm not telling you, shouldn'tgo into STEM. He goes with AI.
The AI can do all the stem sothose humanity skills are
actually going to become evenmore valuable. So he says, Go,
actually, I'm telling you. Hesays, You might be better off
going into humanities learning,you know, like being an actor or
whatever, because at leastyou'll have, you'll you'll
(04:20):
develop, some communicationskills and human skills with
different humanities andcreativity skills, because those
skills are going to become somuch more important because you
learning how to code. I tellpeople this all the time. People
don't like when I say it, butlike, coding is dead.
TD Flenaugh (04:39):
Yeah, the computer is able to do it right, like
Tarquinn Curry (04:44):
coding it can, you know, we, I taught a I
taught a class this summer, andI taught a bunch of middle
schoolers. They all into, in aweek and a half, build, ready?
Websites, right? They build,they can build apps. You. Anyone
can do it. It's not something ifyou know the right tools and the
(05:05):
right prompts, you can buildsomething that it would have
taken someone that was a 10year, 20 year veteran learning
Python,
TD Flenaugh (05:12):
that's that's hard anymore and so
Tarquinn Curry (05:15):
and in about a year from now, any kid can
produce anything that, so what?
So again, that. But then what'sgoing to separate people? If
anybody,
TD Flenaugh (05:26):
that is the sounds scary, that does sound scary,
Tarquinn Curry (05:31):
and it is what it is. This is what's happening.
That's
TD Flenaugh (05:33):
you have to be ready, right? You're right. That
is Yeah, because
Tarquinn Curry (05:37):
that's why I tell people. Is the biggest
that's why I tell people I trynot to sugar. I say, No, it's
the biggest innovation ever. Andpeople don't. And maybe I'm
biased, because I'm deep intothe weeds with this, but, but I
just, I firmly believe thatnothing is bigger than AI,
right? Like nothing, and peoplethat even understand it, they
(06:00):
don't really understand what'sabout to happen. And I saw
TD Flenaugh (06:04):
right? And I Yeah, and I didn't even think about
Tarquinn Curry (06:08):
it, yeah, because every, every innovation,
let me say this, everyinnovation. And yeah, I haven't
even thought about humanhistory. We're talking about the
internet, if you're talkingabout television, if you're
talking about the phone, it waslike this. Growth was like this,
but AI is like AI is not likethis. A is like this. It's
exponential. It's exponentialgrowth because right now we're
an arms race in open AI in metawith Zuckerberg in you got grok
(06:35):
with what's my man? I just wentblank. Tesla, I just went blank.
Is it Elon Musk, Elon, Elon,Elon. Like all these companies
are, and I follow this in everyday there's a new improvement,
like every day, like I can go onand on about all the different
(06:56):
tools, and people don't evenrealize how good some of it is
how good some of the videogeneration is, the art, the
podcast and the the what you canproduce, and it's going into
every sector, right? Doc, theysay that if a doctor in five
years is not using AI, theycould be charged with
(07:17):
malpractice, right? Yeah,because they didn't use the AI
and lawyers, there's all these,these, whole lot of law firms
are using an AI tool. This is apopular AI tool that so every
sector, right? And that's whatbrings back to the schools, is
that schools need to realize,you need to accept it and
(07:40):
embrace it. At my school, it'sblocked, it's banned.
TD Flenaugh (07:44):
But we're like, don't use it. Don't use it.
Tarquinn Curry (07:47):
That's a lot of schools are doing. They just,
they just block it. Well, it'snot black for the teachers.
That's some schools. Is Blackfor everyone, but it's black for
the students, which I'm tryingto get changed because I don't.
I'm on my I'm on my schooldistricts. I'm, you know, I'm in
Long Beach, and Long Beach isthe third biggest district in
California. There's like, 40,000students, right? I'm the only
teacher on our on the taskforce, right? The AI Task Force,
(08:11):
and I'm trying to advocate. Yougot to get it. You know,
TD Flenaugh (08:16):
in the task force, in your district, you're the
only teacher. You have to, well,thank you so much. We always
need teachers. And I you know,there's so many policies and
everything that come out withouttalking to teachers, but it's
like you as a teacher supposedto use this policy now, because
these people who haven't been ina classroom, or maybe haven't
been in the classroom for 10years, have made this policy for
(08:37):
you, and it's like you don'tunderstand. And then, you know,
we know that every classroom isso different, every teaching job
is a little different based onour students, even, you know, so
it's in different subject areas,it's just age groups, all of
that. So it's good that you'rethere to advocate.
Tarquinn Curry (08:56):
You're an English teacher. You're the best
coder since you taught English,because all coding is is now. So
I tell people, if you know theEnglish language, and if you
really know the Englishlanguage, those are the best
coders.
TD Flenaugh (09:08):
Yeah, it's such an important conversation. I, you
know, I didn't even think aboutthe coding thing, because I'm
not a coder like that orwhatever. So I didn't think
about because those are, like,really, you know, affluent
people, and then it's not my,yeah, yeah. I, I've done a
little bit. I actually have anauthorization for computer
(09:28):
science, but it wasn't nothingthat I focused on. But I, I did
a little bit of it, little stuffthere, little dabbling.
Tarquinn Curry (09:35):
You knowing English is more important than
you understanding Python and allthese coding languages, because
it's all natural language now,right?
TD Flenaugh (09:43):
Okay, okay with my students, I, I do things to help
them to value their own personalexperiences, right? Like, if
they do a draft of somethingabout a personal experience, I,
I've had aI like, do. Seconddraft and add to it, and then,
(10:03):
you know, purposely, kind ofannoy them with with the draft,
because it's like, my momdoesn't say that. We don't, we
don't play Uno or whatever. Andso they're, like, motivated to
change it, but I'm like, See,you're more important than the
AI, and no one can replace yourpersonal experience, right? Like
it's making up things that theythink your mom might say, or
that what games you might playat Christmas, but your personal
(10:26):
experience matters more, andthat that memory, or even
sharing that with other peopleyou know, is is more important
than AI. So that's one
Tarquinn Curry (10:35):
way that I and for English, I was going to say,
Have you heard of brisk risk?
Ai, no, so I just because youreminded me, the best tool, if
you do teach English forwriting, is to use a tool called
brisk,
TD Flenaugh (10:48):
B R I S, C K. Brisk
Tarquinn Curry (10:51):
is it's B R, I s, k, and it's an extension.
It's a Chrome extension thatworks with Google Docs. So if
you have kids type on GoogleDocs, you as a teacher, can see
what they're typing. So first ofall, if they did plagiarize, you
could see it. You it gives you arecording of their typing. And
(11:13):
so you can, you can see fromthey started typing at 805, and
from 810, to 815, there wasnothing. And then from 815,
eight, you literally can, like,go through the and look at
there, right and then, but it,it gives the kids tips. It
doesn't give them the answer. Itgives them tips, you know? And
that's another thing too. Ithink teachers don't realize
there's a lot of AI tools, okay,even within chatgpt, there's, if
(11:35):
you go to chatgpt, there's,there's a study mode where it's
not going to give them theanswer, because, and I tell
parents this too, right? Yeah,you can go to chat TD, and it'll
give the kids the answer. Itell, I tell kids this, yeah,
you can cheat. It's easy, butyou're gonna get it. You're
gonna fail the test.
Unknown (11:51):
You're not gonna understand it, yeah?
Tarquinn Curry (11:55):
Like, you can cheat on your homework, or it's
not gonna help you, though, youknow, because, first of all,
especially in colleges, they'restarting to do stuff in class.
Like the bulk of the grading nowis, what can you do in class,
right, where you don't haveaccess so it's not helping you
to cheat, just not going to helpyou. And a lot of kids are
realizing that, like, this isnot helping me, like I can
(12:17):
cheat. Okay, go ahead and cheat.
You're going to fail the class,you know? Because, you know,
TD Flenaugh (12:24):
yeah, you know, we're both teachers. To get our
certification, we had to taketests. We had to sit down and
take tests. And there, we can'tuse AI on those tests. We have
to, like, sit there and write itright? They give us, like,
really antiquated computers andthat we can't bring anything in.
I mean, my watch, I couldn'tnothing, right? So it's just
(12:46):
like I either have the knowledgeto sit down there and type it up
or I don't, you know, and so ifI've just been relying on AI and
and I think some people like,that's the fear for my students,
right? Like, I we do need toshow you how to use AI
responsibly and help keep youmotivated, right? Because we've
(13:08):
had years that we've had to workon our writing, right? But if
the kids are trying to skip overthat, and they don't have that
development, they're justprompting AI, they're going to
be really lost, right? Like,because they didn't go through
the process of spelling thingscorrect incorrectly. You know,
making run on sentences,whatever. And you know, just the
process that you go through asyou're learning
(13:37):
the rewrite method and therewrite method workbook or your
go to resource for helping kidsto learn to fall in love with
writing. It has the tips, tools,resources, strategies and skill
(13:58):

into loving to write. Get yourbook set today.
(14:21):
This episode is going to includeTiffany's tips. She is a
homeschooling mom. She's a momof three, and we're gonna get
some tips from her on how to getour children the competitive
advantage.
Tiffany Curry (14:34):
I believe children come here Earth side
who they already are. They'realready the person you know,
whatever you're, you know, TD,flena, when you came here,
that's who you were. You werenot some you know, I think that
the older generation kind of sawit like you trained the child to
(14:57):
be this way. Yes, where? Rigidand do what I say. And, you
know, I gotta make sure thatthey're just that very rigid way
of thinking. But I believe thatwe're just helping to shape and
mold and direct them to be moreof who they are, you know, and
(15:21):
yeah, as parents to take noticeand pay attention so that, yeah,
the thing that I wanted to talkabout with teaching and being
your your child's teacher, it'sgood to know what type of
learner they are, yeah, you canlearn that by observing them,
(15:42):
you know, just really payingattention to what makes them
excited, what lights them up,what gets them excited. Their
eyes sparkle when they go, hey,you know they're happy that
we're that we're going to gooutside and run around, you
know, and get physical. So youhave a more physical learner,
(16:02):
that kid probably would benefitmore from doing activities that
are outside, and you are maybeputting sight words all around
outside, and they're going on ascavenger hunt, or they're going
to, like, throw a ball and, youknow, the red, the colored, you
(16:28):
know, work on Colors by throwingballs or doing physical so I
think that that's what I try todo, also as a homeschool parent,
paying attention because, youknow, I have three children,
they're all different. Yeah,learners. So it's really
important to know what type oflearner you have so that you can
engage with them in that waythat is most attractive to them
(16:55):
or like in a way that they willbe more attentive, you know?
Yeah, you'll find that they'llbe more excited to learn, and
they'll have fun and be moreengaged, and you won't be having
to bark those orders, sit down,write your name, do the Yeah,
(17:15):
those things are gonna lessenbecause you've gotten them to do
something that they enjoy? Yeah,absolutely a personality. So I
think that that's something thatis important for parents to
know, that they just have totake the time to really pay
attention to what their child isreally into and really
TD Flenaugh (17:38):
is drawn to. I think that's such a good point,
because, like going back to whatyou were saying about they're
already formed. They alreadyhave their personalities.
Because, you know, as parents oreven as a teacher, like you're
asking everyone to do the samething, or you're asking, you
know, you're you're doing it ina certain way, but certain kids
(18:00):
take to it. Certain kids don'tcertain kids alike really like
some things. Some kids just wantto sit and draw. Some kids want
to, you know, so they alreadyhave their own preferences
despite, like, what we wouldlike, right? Like you may ask
everyone to do your kids to docertain something a certain way,
and then you realize, well, hedoesn't want to do it that way,
(18:22):
or he'd rather do this first.
Or, you know, so you you, ifyou're paying attention, you'll
see like, oh, that doesn'treally work for that kid,
because he doesn't like that.
She doesn't really like this.
She prefers this instead. And ofcourse, it's a lot easier if we
are being attuned to thosethings that they like or
(18:42):
dislike, and of course, theyhave to do things sometimes they
don't like, but it's easier toget them to do the things they
don't like when we have beenable to give them plenty of
things that they do like, right?
But if it's just things thatthey don't like, and we're not
(19:02):
paying attention to any of that,and it's just one thing after
another that they don't like,then they get really agitated
with us as parents or educatorsor whatever, because we're not
paying attention. And a lot ofthe stuff is not, it's not a
must that you have to do thisone thing first, like, oh, well,
you could do this first, andthen you could do this next.
(19:23):
It's okay if you like to do thatfirst, and, and, yeah, being
flexible is important
Tiffany Curry (19:30):
for sure. Yeah,
Tarquinn Curry (19:35):
you need to look at AI as a personal tutor in the
sense of what separates peoplethat have a lot of money and
people that don't have a lot ofmoney, they have access to the
best resources. They have accessto, you know, the best tutors in
the world. And come to theirhouse in the $100 I said, Well,
now everyone has access to PhDlevel tutors, okay, at their
(19:59):
fingertips. Everyone in theworld for free, right? And so
you need to use AI as a tutor tohelp your kid. You know, I had
to my own self. I had, I justgot my administrative
credential, right? And to getyour admin credential, you can
either go to school, which Ididn't feel like doing, or you
can take this, or you can takethis test that no one passes,
(20:20):
right?
TD Flenaugh (20:20):
This, I took the test. That's what I was talking
about. I just took it not toolong ago.
Tarquinn Curry (20:29):
Yeah, you're in.
You're in. What's the where youat? I'm in California, Los
Angeles. Okay, the seat, theseat pace, C. Pace, yep. Okay,
yeah. So I just took the seatso, but I use AI to help me
study for the C pace, hmm. And Ipassed it because I use AI to
help me, like, well, now whenI'm taking a test, there's no
AI, yeah, you know, it's allessays, right? There's no way.
(20:51):
But I used AI to help me tostudy, right, yeah? Like, what's
the point of having ai do thework? Like, it's not going to
help me. If it yes, that's,yeah, definitely, you know, but
I, but I would type, forexample, I would type my essays
and I would have it critique itfor me. Yeah, right. Can I do
right? I or I would. I wouldmake audio podcasts, right? And
(21:14):
listen to it in the car. Ilisten to it in the gym. I
would, yeah, I would have itquiz me. I would talk. There's
an app where you could talk tothe AI back and forth. It'll
quiz you. But there's many toolsthat you know. I tell parents
that you can use AI as a tutor,right, to help your kids, right?
(21:37):
And I can talk to you know,whether that's chat GPT, Google
AI studio, because you alwaysthink of chat GPT, right? That's
the most popular one. But Ireally, I really love Google AI
studio. I try to, because thatone is also free, but whatever
on your screen. I do this withmy own kids. My kids, okay, can
(22:01):
you quiz me on I got this teston Roman history. The Google AI
Studio can see what's on theirscreen, and it will like you can
say, Hey, can you quiz me? AndI'll talk back to you, right?
It'll just quiz you as ifthey're right there, right? And
they can see what's everywhereon your screen. And because it
can see what's on your screen.
It can teach you anything. Also,if you want to learn something,
(22:23):
it can walk you through. Sayyou'll do this now, if you want
to learn how to do a soft createsome software, yeah, Mm, hmm,
something that doesn't makesense, right? You can use that.
Yeah, like I said, chat. GPT hasa study feature where it it will
not just give you the answer. Ijust love that. If you put on
(22:46):
that mode, I tell parents to usethe study mode on TD for the for
have your kids use that for mathor anything, you know, upload
the word to it. Another thing,another tool. Another thing I
tell parents is, if your kid hasa test, this is one of the best
things, is they have a studyguide, right? You can take a
(23:06):
picture of their study guide orscan it, or whatever, upload
that to a chat GPT or any largelanguage model, and you could
tell it, okay, can you rewrite?
They say, your kids like my Myson loves basketball, right? So
I'll say, Okay, can you turnthis Roman history document, or,
you know, test and relate it tothe NBA and use the best players
(23:32):
in the NBA? I want you to talkabout LeBron and Steph and
related to, you know, Romanhistory, if you're like that has
nothing. It will do it, it'llit'll relate it, right? And
then, and then what you do is,and then what you do is, for our
auditory learners, you couldturn into a podcast, right?
There's a, it's very simple. InGoogle Ad Studio, you can, it'll
(23:56):
take the text, it'll turn into atwo person podcast, and they're
talking back and forth, and youand the kid listens to it, and I
say, make sure, and it'spropping again. I say, make it,
make it entertaining and make itrelatable for a 12 year old, but
keep the content of the Romanhistory like I want them to
understand the facts, all theboring stuff. Make it fun. And,
(24:18):
you know, and then, you know,this 10 minute podcast, right?
So they listen to the 10 minutepodcast, and they'll grasp it
more than some, and then whenthey read it, it'll make more
sense, like, Oh, now I get itbecause now they put it in, you
know, they they related it tosomething that I'm into. So this
boring topic that my teachersaid that I could care less
about, right? But I do that withall my kids test right before
(24:41):
their test. I have I make into apodcast. And this is not another
tool called notebook ln thatwill do that. But you know, you
use the AI where otherwise youcouldn't do this a few years
ago, you couldn't do a. Thingslike this. And when I say, I
tell people, you can take it inand turn to a podcast. How long
(25:04):
is that going to take? Threeminutes.
TD Flenaugh (25:11):
Who has time for that?
Tarquinn Curry (25:16):
Literally, three minutes, right? And so you know
whether or you can turn it intoa for people that are visual,
you can take it to TD, and youcan get visuals from text. It'll
turn into a visualrepresentation, right? For our
(25:38):
kids that want to see thingsvisually, right? So those are
just some some tools, whetheryou know that in I used to be a
special ed teacher, like I saidbefore, and so my thing is
differentiation, right? Get kidsdifferent levels. Teachers are
like, how do we I got you?
That's the hardest thing to doin a classroom of 35 kids. You
(26:00):
got kids or this level, but withAI, there's many tools. You
could differentiate any textfor, okay, seventh grade level,
six sprint level, right? Likethat. Oh, wow. You know, you can
put into a tool called in video,and you can turn any text, it'll
create a video of it, right?
(26:25):
It'll create a you know, theseare free tools. These aren't
even now, there are paid tools,but these are all free.
TD Flenaugh (26:31):
That's so exciting.
That's great
Tarquinn Curry (26:33):
on my website. I haven't, I don't think I said I
have a website too called Quinnsite.org where I have, like, all
these tools listed. I have allthese tools. I even have a on my
website. I have a promptgenerator that will generate an
app like so, if you say you, forexample, let's say you have a
(26:56):
what's it? I don't know youmath, a math test. So you want
to learn fractions. You say, Iam a seventh grader learning
fractions, and it will create asuper detailed prompt for you.
You put that prompt into a toolcalled clod or TPT, doesn't
matter, and chat GPT willcreate, it'll code out a whole
(27:19):
app on fractions, a fun app oncreate on fractions, or fun app
on learning about, you know,African history, or fun app
about learning grammar rules. Itdoesn't matter, right, right?
But it's, it's free, right? It'sso that is cool. Yes, a lot of
people, they just, they're,they're, you know, they're just,
(27:41):
they're just not aware, youknow,
TD Flenaugh (27:42):
okay, and like, it just hits home. What you're
saying is, like, now you haveaccess to, like, the best
tutors, where other people havethat access, but now it's like,
free ways to do that.
Tarquinn Curry (27:54):
One another thing I always say is, you know,
have your kids start buildingstuff with AI, right? Have your
kids create book, right? You cancreate a book if, like, you
know, I I've had my kid, my son,who's nine, has made five books
with AI, okay, right? You canpublish these books. And so I
(28:17):
tell people, parents, starthaving your kids do stuff now,
they can do it now, like youdon't gotta wait for them to go
to college, for them to youknow, I love this. If they're,
if your kids into videocreation, have them make video
if you're, if you have a girlthat's into fashion, they can
make stuff with AI fashion likethat. You know, it can expedite
(28:37):
the process very much, you know,because now, anyone who's
creative, so I tell you this, inthe past, you need a resources
and money, yeah, to, you know,like, I, for example, I like
video, I make videos. Like, Idon't have the money to create a
big movie. But now you don't,you know, you just have to have
(28:58):
the idea, yeah, in there that.
You just gotta be aware of thetools, okay, right? Music You
kids are in the music they couldmake. There's an app called suno
where they can make really goodmusic, right? You gotta know how
to prompt it and use you know ifyou're into that, but you can
make quality style music ifthat's your interest. But anyone
(29:20):
can do that. And I, you know, Ialways encourage parents to have
their kids start creating stuff,podcasts, books, comic books,
music, you know, apps coded thewhole app. You know, I'm saying
this when kids realize that theycan create websites and apps
using what's called no code.
(29:40):
Vibe coding tools like lovable.
I just that's the number one.
Lovable is lovable is the numberone growing, growing website
just past chat GPT in the world,and it creates apps. No code,
app. All I gotta do just type itin right type in natural
language and kids. Can. Kidslove it. They like I can create
an app. A. Game kids who love toget like your kids who love
(30:03):
playing video games. Okay, havethem create a video game, and
then, and then English comesinto that because they got to
know how to prompt it. Wow.
Thank you so much. They have toknow the they have to know how
to prompt the code, not it's allnatural language, right? And so
but this is what everyone isdoing, and this is what and I
tell parents this, everyone isgoing to be doing this. This is
(30:25):
not a like, Oh, this is justsomething that's a fad. This is
not a fad. This is what'scoming. And, you know, by having
our kids at home create thesethings because this, I'll be
honest with you, the schoolsaren't doing it like China. It's
mandated. They just passed thelaw in China from kindergarten
to 12th grade this fall, everykid has to learn AI, the whole
(30:45):
country, from kindergarten to12th grade and each level, but
it's more advanced.
TD Flenaugh (30:54):
I can just laugh because, you know, just like
what we've been talking about,they're blocking our kids from
it, right? They're not lettingthe kids use it at school, yeah,
when we know they have access inother ways to it, but we're just
not teaching them, right? So itputs us at a disadvantage. But
this podcast is all about givingyour kids the competitive
advantage, so make sure you'resupporting them with learning
(31:17):
this stuff at home, maybe givingthem, you know, letting them
take a course or something tosupport them with it. But yeah,
so, thank you so much. Mr.
Courage, yeah
Tarquinn Curry (31:29):
and really quick, really quick. I know I
gotta say this, because I alwayswant to say this, just so that I
can be fair Say it. Yes, I gottasay this. I gotta say this,
because this so some pitfalls.
Just be aware of parents that ifyour kid is on AI, just be aware
of this. Be aware of chat bots,meaning, because you know, just
(31:52):
like social media, you gottaknow, you know what they're
doing. Social media, what'sgoing to become the new thing,
what's going to start it's gonnasurpass social media is AI chat
bots. Kids are gonna startgetting connected to these chat
bots and act like they're realpeople. Oh yes, it's already
happening. Kids are gettingsocially connected to the so you
have to just keep an eye onthat, because that's real. You
(32:14):
know, there's as much view likehaving a relationship with it,
yeah, you know thatrelationship. And you know, I
always teach the AI ethics, justokay, you know, turn off the
mode and chat GPT though it'snot sharing your data with it's
your you know, it's not trainingon your data. You don't want it.
If you don't, you know, youdon't want it training on your
data. And if you're reallyconcerned with that, you can get
(32:36):
a AI where it's only on yourcomputer, it doesn't go to the
cloud. There's ways to do thatas well, and so, and, you know,
just be aware, you know, becausejust just really talk to your
kids about the ethics of AI,meaning bullying. Kids are, you
know, kids can bully with AI. Ican, I can take your voice and
manipulate it, or your image.
(32:57):
So, so, these are just thingsthat just be aware, because
these are real things. So I was,I always want to say that,
because it's not all peaches.
I'm here talking about theamazing things of AI. Yeah,
there's a lot of bad of AI. I'mnot going to act like there
isn't okay, okay, okay. So justbe, yeah, a lot, you know. So
just, I wanted to say that,
TD Flenaugh (33:16):
thank you so much for bringing that up. It's
important. Thank you. Appreciateit. Thanks so much again for
joining us on the falling forlearning podcast, and Mr.
TARQUIN curry gave you all kindsof resources your website, all
of us in the show notes and makesure again, you're doing
something to give your kids thecompetitive advantage. Have a

TD, artificial intelligence is a tool that is
(00:06):
being used to help elevate humanproduction, and it also is
changing the face of productionand even replacing some jobs.
Hi. Thank you so much forjoining the Falling for Learning
Podcast. We have this podcast tohelp parents and caregivers with
having the resources, strategiesand tools needed to make sure
(00:29):
that their children are on trackfor learning and to stay on
track for success. So youobviously, you know, have a lot
of expertise. What are thoseskills? You mentioned it earlier
that they we need to really behelping them develop.
Tarquinn Curry (00:46):
Kids need to understand prompting skills.
It's, that's, it's a skill set.
If I want chat GPT to give me alesson from my fifth grade
science class, the first thingI'm going to say is, I'm going
to give it a role. I'm going tosay, act as a 25 year veteran
fifth grade science teacher, andthe AI will take on that role.
(01:08):
You always gotta give the AI arole. You always gotta. You
always so it'll, it'll take onthat role you always have to
give the AI like, how do youwant it produced? You want any
bullet points you want as aparagraph Do you want? Because
it'll just assume you alwaysgotta give the A gotta give the
AI context, okay, you're ateacher. It knows you're a
teacher, but you're teachinginner city schools. You teach.
You know people who get the bestresults are those who know how
(01:29):
to prompt.
TD Flenaugh (01:32):
So the first skill is prompting. Is the second
skill the detecting the bias, ordetecting it.
Tarquinn Curry (01:38):
So the second skill is detecting bias. The
third one is critical thinkers.
And you can use the AI to helpyou to be a critical thinker,
like you can have the AI like Isaid, produce both sides of a
debate, and you could analyzeit. But just finding ways to
help the kids to be criticalthinkers being collaborative,
that's another skill, becausewhat's going to happen is, when
(02:03):
it's AI, everything you knowhuman skills are going to be at
a premium. Like, you gottathink, okay, what can the AI not
do? Like, what skill like? So,being collaborative, being a
people person, knowing how tocommunicate, right? Teaching
kids. I'll give you a perfectexample communication too.
(02:24):
That's a huge one. Is teachingkids how to be effective
communicators, because the AI,even though they're getting
better, right, they're it'sgetting better with the voices
and the, you know, chat bots andcommunicating with people, it's
not a human so teaching kids,and you know how to be effective
communicators by a simple one, Itell parents, is how you know,
(02:48):
and it can visually, see andhear everything. It's free. And
you know, it could be a debatecoach. It could be but you can
use that to help you with yourcommunication. I do with my
kids. I have them, I say, Irecord them giving a speech
about whatever topic, and we putit in. I tell the AI act as a 45
year expert debate coach, and Iwant you to analyze their entire
(03:11):
speech, and then I have it,voice it to them in a podcast.
And make, I make a podcast outof it. You listen to a car
driving, you know, and so, butcommunication, so communication
is another skill that's going tobe very important, yes, because,
you know, so creativity,communication, working with in a
team setting, these are humanskills. So you have to, we have
(03:36):
to really develop those humanskills. It's funny, Barack Obama
gave a speech a few months ago.
You know, for the past 15 years,it's been, go go into STEM,
right? Going to science,technology, engineering and
math. Don't go into thehumanities. That's kind of been
the thing, right? Yeah, andObama said he goes, even though
(03:59):
I'm not telling you, shouldn'tgo into STEM. He goes with AI.
The AI can do all the stem sothose humanity skills are
actually going to become evenmore valuable. So he says, Go,
actually, I'm telling you. Hesays, You might be better off
going into humanities learning,you know, like being an actor or
whatever, because at leastyou'll have, you'll you'll
(04:20):
develop, some communicationskills and human skills with
different humanities andcreativity skills, because those
skills are going to become somuch more important because you
learning how to code. I tellpeople this all the time. People
don't like when I say it, butlike, coding is dead.
TD Flenaugh (04:39):
Yeah, the computer is able to do it right, like
Tarquinn Curry (04:44):
coding it can, you know, we, I taught a I
taught a class this summer, andI taught a bunch of middle
schoolers. They all into, in aweek and a half, build, ready?
Websites, right? They build,they can build apps. You. Anyone
can do it. It's not something ifyou know the right tools and the
(05:05):
right prompts, you can buildsomething that it would have
taken someone that was a 10year, 20 year veteran learning
Python,
TD Flenaugh (05:12):
that's that's hard anymore and so
Tarquinn Curry (05:15):
and in about a year from now, any kid can
produce anything that, so what?
So again, that. But then what'sgoing to separate people? If
anybody,
TD Flenaugh (05:26):
that is the sounds scary, that does sound scary,
Tarquinn Curry (05:31):
and it is what it is. This is what's happening.
That's
TD Flenaugh (05:33):
you have to be ready, right? You're right. That
is Yeah, because
Tarquinn Curry (05:37):
that's why I tell people. Is the biggest
that's why I tell people I trynot to sugar. I say, No, it's
the biggest innovation ever. Andpeople don't. And maybe I'm
biased, because I'm deep intothe weeds with this, but, but I
just, I firmly believe thatnothing is bigger than AI,
right? Like nothing, and peoplethat even understand it, they
(06:00):
don't really understand what'sabout to happen. And I saw
TD Flenaugh (06:04):
right? And I Yeah, and I didn't even think about
Tarquinn Curry (06:08):
it, yeah, because every, every innovation,
let me say this, everyinnovation. And yeah, I haven't
even thought about humanhistory. We're talking about the
internet, if you're talkingabout television, if you're
talking about the phone, it waslike this. Growth was like this,
but AI is like AI is not likethis. A is like this. It's
exponential. It's exponentialgrowth because right now we're
an arms race in open AI in metawith Zuckerberg in you got grok
(06:35):
with what's my man? I just wentblank. Tesla, I just went blank.
Is it Elon Musk, Elon, Elon,Elon. Like all these companies
are, and I follow this in everyday there's a new improvement,
like every day, like I can go onand on about all the different
(06:56):
tools, and people don't evenrealize how good some of it is
how good some of the videogeneration is, the art, the
podcast and the the what you canproduce, and it's going into
every sector, right? Doc, theysay that if a doctor in five
years is not using AI, theycould be charged with
(07:17):
malpractice, right? Yeah,because they didn't use the AI
and lawyers, there's all these,these, whole lot of law firms
are using an AI tool. This is apopular AI tool that so every
sector, right? And that's whatbrings back to the schools, is
that schools need to realize,you need to accept it and
(07:40):
embrace it. At my school, it'sblocked, it's banned.
TD Flenaugh (07:44):
But we're like, don't use it. Don't use it.
Tarquinn Curry (07:47):
That's a lot of schools are doing. They just,
they just block it. Well, it'snot black for the teachers.
That's some schools. Is Blackfor everyone, but it's black for
the students, which I'm tryingto get changed because I don't.
I'm on my I'm on my schooldistricts. I'm, you know, I'm in
Long Beach, and Long Beach isthe third biggest district in
California. There's like, 40,000students, right? I'm the only
teacher on our on the taskforce, right? The AI Task Force,
(08:11):
and I'm trying to advocate. Yougot to get it. You know,
TD Flenaugh (08:16):
in the task force, in your district, you're the
only teacher. You have to, well,thank you so much. We always
need teachers. And I you know,there's so many policies and
everything that come out withouttalking to teachers, but it's
like you as a teacher supposedto use this policy now, because
these people who haven't been ina classroom, or maybe haven't
been in the classroom for 10years, have made this policy for
(08:37):
you, and it's like you don'tunderstand. And then, you know,
we know that every classroom isso different, every teaching job
is a little different based onour students, even, you know, so
it's in different subject areas,it's just age groups, all of
that. So it's good that you'rethere to advocate.
Tarquinn Curry (08:56):
You're an English teacher. You're the best
coder since you taught English,because all coding is is now. So
I tell people, if you know theEnglish language, and if you
really know the Englishlanguage, those are the best
coders.
TD Flenaugh (09:08):
Yeah, it's such an important conversation. I, you
know, I didn't even think aboutthe coding thing, because I'm
not a coder like that orwhatever. So I didn't think
about because those are, like,really, you know, affluent
people, and then it's not my,yeah, yeah. I, I've done a
little bit. I actually have anauthorization for computer
(09:28):
science, but it wasn't nothingthat I focused on. But I, I did
a little bit of it, little stuffthere, little dabbling.
Tarquinn Curry (09:35):
You knowing English is more important than
you understanding Python and allthese coding languages, because
it's all natural language now,right?
TD Flenaugh (09:43):
Okay, okay with my students, I, I do things to help
them to value their own personalexperiences, right? Like, if
they do a draft of somethingabout a personal experience, I,
I've had aI like, do. Seconddraft and add to it, and then,
(10:03):
you know, purposely, kind ofannoy them with with the draft,
because it's like, my momdoesn't say that. We don't, we
don't play Uno or whatever. Andso they're, like, motivated to
change it, but I'm like, See,you're more important than the
AI, and no one can replace yourpersonal experience, right? Like
it's making up things that theythink your mom might say, or
that what games you might playat Christmas, but your personal
(10:26):
experience matters more, andthat that memory, or even
sharing that with other peopleyou know, is is more important
than AI. So that's one
Tarquinn Curry (10:35):
way that I and for English, I was going to say,
Have you heard of brisk risk?
Ai, no, so I just because youreminded me, the best tool, if
you do teach English forwriting, is to use a tool called
brisk,
TD Flenaugh (10:48):
B R I S, C K. Brisk
Tarquinn Curry (10:51):
is it's B R, I s, k, and it's an extension.
It's a Chrome extension thatworks with Google Docs. So if
you have kids type on GoogleDocs, you as a teacher, can see
what they're typing. So first ofall, if they did plagiarize, you
could see it. You it gives you arecording of their typing. And
(11:13):
so you can, you can see fromthey started typing at 805, and
from 810, to 815, there wasnothing. And then from 815,
eight, you literally can, like,go through the and look at
there, right and then, but it,it gives the kids tips. It
doesn't give them the answer. Itgives them tips, you know? And
that's another thing too. Ithink teachers don't realize
there's a lot of AI tools, okay,even within chatgpt, there's, if
(11:35):
you go to chatgpt, there's,there's a study mode where it's
not going to give them theanswer, because, and I tell
parents this too, right? Yeah,you can go to chat TD, and it'll
give the kids the answer. Itell, I tell kids this, yeah,
you can cheat. It's easy, butyou're gonna get it. You're
gonna fail the test.
Unknown (11:51):
You're not gonna understand it, yeah?
Tarquinn Curry (11:55):
Like, you can cheat on your homework, or it's
not gonna help you, though, youknow, because, first of all,
especially in colleges, they'restarting to do stuff in class.
Like the bulk of the grading nowis, what can you do in class,
right, where you don't haveaccess so it's not helping you
to cheat, just not going to helpyou. And a lot of kids are
realizing that, like, this isnot helping me, like I can
(12:17):
cheat. Okay, go ahead and cheat.
You're going to fail the class,you know? Because, you know,
TD Flenaugh (12:24):
yeah, you know, we're both teachers. To get our
certification, we had to taketests. We had to sit down and
take tests. And there, we can'tuse AI on those tests. We have
to, like, sit there and write itright? They give us, like,
really antiquated computers andthat we can't bring anything in.
I mean, my watch, I couldn'tnothing, right? So it's just
(12:46):
like I either have the knowledgeto sit down there and type it up
or I don't, you know, and so ifI've just been relying on AI and
and I think some people like,that's the fear for my students,
right? Like, I we do need toshow you how to use AI
responsibly and help keep youmotivated, right? Because we've
(13:08):
had years that we've had to workon our writing, right? But if
the kids are trying to skip overthat, and they don't have that
development, they're justprompting AI, they're going to
be really lost, right? Like,because they didn't go through
the process of spelling thingscorrect incorrectly. You know,
making run on sentences,whatever. And you know, just the
process that you go through asyou're learning
(13:37):
the rewrite method and therewrite method workbook or your
go to resource for helping kidsto learn to fall in love with
writing. It has the tips, tools,resources, strategies and skill
(13:58):
building activities to help kidsfall out of writing Hoot and
into loving to write. Get yourbook set today.
(14:21):
This episode is going to includeTiffany's tips. She is a
homeschooling mom. She's a momof three, and we're gonna get
some tips from her on how to getour children the competitive
advantage.
Tiffany Curry (14:34):
I believe children come here Earth side
who they already are. They'realready the person you know,
whatever you're, you know, TD,flena, when you came here,
that's who you were. You werenot some you know, I think that
the older generation kind of sawit like you trained the child to
(14:57):
be this way. Yes, where? Rigidand do what I say. And, you
know, I gotta make sure thatthey're just that very rigid way
of thinking. But I believe thatwe're just helping to shape and
mold and direct them to be moreof who they are, you know, and
(15:21):
yeah, as parents to take noticeand pay attention so that, yeah,
the thing that I wanted to talkabout with teaching and being
your your child's teacher, it'sgood to know what type of
learner they are, yeah, you canlearn that by observing them,
(15:42):
you know, just really payingattention to what makes them
excited, what lights them up,what gets them excited. Their
eyes sparkle when they go, hey,you know they're happy that
we're that we're going to gooutside and run around, you
know, and get physical. So youhave a more physical learner,
(16:02):
that kid probably would benefitmore from doing activities that
are outside, and you are maybeputting sight words all around
outside, and they're going on ascavenger hunt, or they're going
to, like, throw a ball and, youknow, the red, the colored, you
(16:28):
know, work on Colors by throwingballs or doing physical so I
think that that's what I try todo, also as a homeschool parent,
paying attention because, youknow, I have three children,
they're all different. Yeah,learners. So it's really
important to know what type oflearner you have so that you can
engage with them in that waythat is most attractive to them
(16:55):
or like in a way that they willbe more attentive, you know?
Yeah, you'll find that they'llbe more excited to learn, and
they'll have fun and be moreengaged, and you won't be having
to bark those orders, sit down,write your name, do the Yeah,
(17:15):
those things are gonna lessenbecause you've gotten them to do
something that they enjoy? Yeah,absolutely a personality. So I
think that that's something thatis important for parents to
know, that they just have totake the time to really pay
attention to what their child isreally into and really
TD Flenaugh (17:38):
is drawn to. I think that's such a good point,
because, like going back to whatyou were saying about they're
already formed. They alreadyhave their personalities.
Because, you know, as parents oreven as a teacher, like you're
asking everyone to do the samething, or you're asking, you
know, you're you're doing it ina certain way, but certain kids
(18:00):
take to it. Certain kids don'tcertain kids alike really like
some things. Some kids just wantto sit and draw. Some kids want
to, you know, so they alreadyhave their own preferences
despite, like, what we wouldlike, right? Like you may ask
everyone to do your kids to docertain something a certain way,
and then you realize, well, hedoesn't want to do it that way,
(18:22):
or he'd rather do this first.
Or, you know, so you you, ifyou're paying attention, you'll
see like, oh, that doesn'treally work for that kid,
because he doesn't like that.
She doesn't really like this.
She prefers this instead. And ofcourse, it's a lot easier if we
are being attuned to thosethings that they like or
(18:42):
dislike, and of course, theyhave to do things sometimes they
don't like, but it's easier toget them to do the things they
don't like when we have beenable to give them plenty of
things that they do like, right?
But if it's just things thatthey don't like, and we're not
(19:02):
paying attention to any of that,and it's just one thing after
another that they don't like,then they get really agitated
with us as parents or educatorsor whatever, because we're not
paying attention. And a lot ofthe stuff is not, it's not a
must that you have to do thisone thing first, like, oh, well,
you could do this first, andthen you could do this next.
(19:23):
It's okay if you like to do thatfirst, and, and, yeah, being
flexible is important
Tiffany Curry (19:30):
for sure. Yeah,
Tarquinn Curry (19:35):
you need to look at AI as a personal tutor in the
sense of what separates peoplethat have a lot of money and
people that don't have a lot ofmoney, they have access to the
best resources. They have accessto, you know, the best tutors in
the world. And come to theirhouse in the $100 I said, Well,
now everyone has access to PhDlevel tutors, okay, at their
(19:59):
fingertips. Everyone in theworld for free, right? And so
you need to use AI as a tutor tohelp your kid. You know, I had
to my own self. I had, I justgot my administrative
credential, right? And to getyour admin credential, you can
either go to school, which Ididn't feel like doing, or you
can take this, or you can takethis test that no one passes,
(20:20):
right?
TD Flenaugh (20:20):
This, I took the test. That's what I was talking
about. I just took it not toolong ago.
Tarquinn Curry (20:29):
Yeah, you're in.
You're in. What's the where youat? I'm in California, Los
Angeles. Okay, the seat, theseat pace, C. Pace, yep. Okay,
yeah. So I just took the seatso, but I use AI to help me
study for the C pace, hmm. And Ipassed it because I use AI to
help me, like, well, now whenI'm taking a test, there's no
AI, yeah, you know, it's allessays, right? There's no way.
(20:51):
But I used AI to help me tostudy, right, yeah? Like, what's
the point of having ai do thework? Like, it's not going to
help me. If it yes, that's,yeah, definitely, you know, but
I, but I would type, forexample, I would type my essays
and I would have it critique itfor me. Yeah, right. Can I do
right? I or I would. I wouldmake audio podcasts, right? And
(21:14):
listen to it in the car. Ilisten to it in the gym. I
would, yeah, I would have itquiz me. I would talk. There's
an app where you could talk tothe AI back and forth. It'll
quiz you. But there's many toolsthat you know. I tell parents
that you can use AI as a tutor,right, to help your kids, right?
(21:37):
And I can talk to you know,whether that's chat GPT, Google
AI studio, because you alwaysthink of chat GPT, right? That's
the most popular one. But Ireally, I really love Google AI
studio. I try to, because thatone is also free, but whatever
on your screen. I do this withmy own kids. My kids, okay, can
(22:01):
you quiz me on I got this teston Roman history. The Google AI
Studio can see what's on theirscreen, and it will like you can
say, Hey, can you quiz me? AndI'll talk back to you, right?
It'll just quiz you as ifthey're right there, right? And
they can see what's everywhereon your screen. And because it
can see what's on your screen.
It can teach you anything. Also,if you want to learn something,
(22:23):
it can walk you through. Sayyou'll do this now, if you want
to learn how to do a soft createsome software, yeah, Mm, hmm,
something that doesn't makesense, right? You can use that.
Yeah, like I said, chat. GPT hasa study feature where it it will
not just give you the answer. Ijust love that. If you put on
(22:46):
that mode, I tell parents to usethe study mode on TD for the for
have your kids use that for mathor anything, you know, upload
the word to it. Another thing,another tool. Another thing I
tell parents is, if your kid hasa test, this is one of the best
things, is they have a studyguide, right? You can take a
(23:06):
picture of their study guide orscan it, or whatever, upload
that to a chat GPT or any largelanguage model, and you could
tell it, okay, can you rewrite?
They say, your kids like my Myson loves basketball, right? So
I'll say, Okay, can you turnthis Roman history document, or,
you know, test and relate it tothe NBA and use the best players
(23:32):
in the NBA? I want you to talkabout LeBron and Steph and
related to, you know, Romanhistory, if you're like that has
nothing. It will do it, it'llit'll relate it, right? And
then, and then what you do is,and then what you do is, for our
auditory learners, you couldturn into a podcast, right?
There's a, it's very simple. InGoogle Ad Studio, you can, it'll
(23:56):
take the text, it'll turn into atwo person podcast, and they're
talking back and forth, and youand the kid listens to it, and I
say, make sure, and it'spropping again. I say, make it,
make it entertaining and make itrelatable for a 12 year old, but
keep the content of the Romanhistory like I want them to
understand the facts, all theboring stuff. Make it fun. And,
(24:18):
you know, and then, you know,this 10 minute podcast, right?
So they listen to the 10 minutepodcast, and they'll grasp it
more than some, and then whenthey read it, it'll make more
sense, like, Oh, now I get itbecause now they put it in, you
know, they they related it tosomething that I'm into. So this
boring topic that my teachersaid that I could care less
about, right? But I do that withall my kids test right before
(24:41):
their test. I have I make into apodcast. And this is not another
tool called notebook ln thatwill do that. But you know, you
use the AI where otherwise youcouldn't do this a few years
ago, you couldn't do a. Thingslike this. And when I say, I
tell people, you can take it inand turn to a podcast. How long
(25:04):
is that going to take? Threeminutes.
TD Flenaugh (25:11):
Who has time for that?
Tarquinn Curry (25:16):
Literally, three minutes, right? And so you know
whether or you can turn it intoa for people that are visual,
you can take it to TD, and youcan get visuals from text. It'll
turn into a visualrepresentation, right? For our
(25:38):
kids that want to see thingsvisually, right? So those are
just some some tools, whetheryou know that in I used to be a
special ed teacher, like I saidbefore, and so my thing is
differentiation, right? Get kidsdifferent levels. Teachers are
like, how do we I got you?
That's the hardest thing to doin a classroom of 35 kids. You
(26:00):
got kids or this level, but withAI, there's many tools. You
could differentiate any textfor, okay, seventh grade level,
six sprint level, right? Likethat. Oh, wow. You know, you can
put into a tool called in video,and you can turn any text, it'll
create a video of it, right?
(26:25):
It'll create a you know, theseare free tools. These aren't
even now, there are paid tools,but these are all free.
TD Flenaugh (26:31):
That's so exciting.
That's great
Tarquinn Curry (26:33):
on my website. I haven't, I don't think I said I
have a website too called Quinnsite.org where I have, like, all
these tools listed. I have allthese tools. I even have a on my
website. I have a promptgenerator that will generate an
app like so, if you say you, forexample, let's say you have a
(26:56):
what's it? I don't know youmath, a math test. So you want
to learn fractions. You say, Iam a seventh grader learning
fractions, and it will create asuper detailed prompt for you.
You put that prompt into a toolcalled clod or TPT, doesn't
matter, and chat GPT willcreate, it'll code out a whole
(27:19):
app on fractions, a fun app oncreate on fractions, or fun app
on learning about, you know,African history, or fun app
about learning grammar rules. Itdoesn't matter, right, right?
But it's, it's free, right? It'sso that is cool. Yes, a lot of
people, they just, they're,they're, you know, they're just,
(27:41):
they're just not aware, youknow,
TD Flenaugh (27:42):
okay, and like, it just hits home. What you're
saying is, like, now you haveaccess to, like, the best
tutors, where other people havethat access, but now it's like,
free ways to do that.
Tarquinn Curry (27:54):
One another thing I always say is, you know,
have your kids start buildingstuff with AI, right? Have your
kids create book, right? You cancreate a book if, like, you
know, I I've had my kid, my son,who's nine, has made five books
with AI, okay, right? You canpublish these books. And so I
(28:17):
tell people, parents, starthaving your kids do stuff now,
they can do it now, like youdon't gotta wait for them to go
to college, for them to youknow, I love this. If they're,
if your kids into videocreation, have them make video
if you're, if you have a girlthat's into fashion, they can
make stuff with AI fashion likethat. You know, it can expedite
(28:37):
the process very much, you know,because now, anyone who's
creative, so I tell you this, inthe past, you need a resources
and money, yeah, to, you know,like, I, for example, I like
video, I make videos. Like, Idon't have the money to create a
big movie. But now you don't,you know, you just have to have
(28:58):
the idea, yeah, in there that.
You just gotta be aware of thetools, okay, right? Music You
kids are in the music they couldmake. There's an app called suno
where they can make really goodmusic, right? You gotta know how
to prompt it and use you know ifyou're into that, but you can
make quality style music ifthat's your interest. But anyone
(29:20):
can do that. And I, you know, Ialways encourage parents to have
their kids start creating stuff,podcasts, books, comic books,
music, you know, apps coded thewhole app. You know, I'm saying
this when kids realize that theycan create websites and apps
using what's called no code.
(29:40):
Vibe coding tools like lovable.
I just that's the number one.
Lovable is lovable is the numberone growing, growing website
just past chat GPT in the world,and it creates apps. No code,
app. All I gotta do just type itin right type in natural
language and kids. Can. Kidslove it. They like I can create
an app. A. Game kids who love toget like your kids who love
(30:03):
playing video games. Okay, havethem create a video game, and
then, and then English comesinto that because they got to
know how to prompt it. Wow.
Thank you so much. They have toknow the they have to know how
to prompt the code, not it's allnatural language, right? And so
but this is what everyone isdoing, and this is what and I
tell parents this, everyone isgoing to be doing this. This is
(30:25):
not a like, Oh, this is justsomething that's a fad. This is
not a fad. This is what'scoming. And, you know, by having
our kids at home create thesethings because this, I'll be
honest with you, the schoolsaren't doing it like China. It's
mandated. They just passed thelaw in China from kindergarten
to 12th grade this fall, everykid has to learn AI, the whole
(30:45):
country, from kindergarten to12th grade and each level, but
it's more advanced.
TD Flenaugh (30:54):
I can just laugh because, you know, just like
what we've been talking about,they're blocking our kids from
it, right? They're not lettingthe kids use it at school, yeah,
when we know they have access inother ways to it, but we're just
not teaching them, right? So itputs us at a disadvantage. But
this podcast is all about givingyour kids the competitive
advantage, so make sure you'resupporting them with learning
(31:17):
this stuff at home, maybe givingthem, you know, letting them
take a course or something tosupport them with it. But yeah,
so, thank you so much. Mr.
Courage, yeah
Tarquinn Curry (31:29):
and really quick, really quick. I know I
gotta say this, because I alwayswant to say this, just so that I
can be fair Say it. Yes, I gottasay this. I gotta say this,
because this so some pitfalls.
Just be aware of parents that ifyour kid is on AI, just be aware
of this. Be aware of chat bots,meaning, because you know, just
(31:52):
like social media, you gottaknow, you know what they're
doing. Social media, what'sgoing to become the new thing,
what's going to start it's gonnasurpass social media is AI chat
bots. Kids are gonna startgetting connected to these chat
bots and act like they're realpeople. Oh yes, it's already
happening. Kids are gettingsocially connected to the so you
have to just keep an eye onthat, because that's real. You
(32:14):
know, there's as much view likehaving a relationship with it,
yeah, you know thatrelationship. And you know, I
always teach the AI ethics, justokay, you know, turn off the
mode and chat GPT though it'snot sharing your data with it's
your you know, it's not trainingon your data. You don't want it.
If you don't, you know, youdon't want it training on your
data. And if you're reallyconcerned with that, you can get
(32:36):
a AI where it's only on yourcomputer, it doesn't go to the
cloud. There's ways to do thatas well, and so, and, you know,
just be aware, you know, becausejust just really talk to your
kids about the ethics of AI,meaning bullying. Kids are, you
know, kids can bully with AI. Ican, I can take your voice and
manipulate it, or your image.
(32:57):
So, so, these are just thingsthat just be aware, because
these are real things. So I was,I always want to say that,
because it's not all peaches.
I'm here talking about theamazing things of AI. Yeah,
there's a lot of bad of AI. I'mnot going to act like there
isn't okay, okay, okay. So justbe, yeah, a lot, you know. So
just, I wanted to say that,
TD Flenaugh (33:16):
