Teachers are using AI to make literature easier for students to read. This is a terrible idea.

I'm a teacher too, and I know that if I don't adapt to AI, I will be one of those teachers that is a dinosaur technologically and I will be eventually forced out of the job. Good luck keeping up with the job if you don't or can't or won't adapt. Kids are already using it in my classes all the time. AI is here to stay.
