In this episode of Brave New Bookshelf, we're joined by author and educator Susan Gable to discuss the vital intersection of critical thinking and generative AI. Drawing from her innovative work with Stossel in the Classroom, Susan shares the results of a fascinating "AI Challenge" experiment that moved beyond banning AI to instead requiring students to use it as a Socratic partner, highlighting why the "human in the loop" is more important than ever. The conversation also dives into Susan’s personal success using AI to break through a decade of writer’s block, offering profound insights for authors on how to offload the physical and mental drudgery of writing while maintaining their role as the essential "Story Architect."
