Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

The fuck even is BeReal? LOL

It's kinda niche, but it's where you and your friends can only post once a day at a random time. But it's all at the same time, so you kinda get a slice of life of what everyone is doing. I like it, it's much worse for influencer type stuff, so everyone I know just uses it with their friends which is nice. It starts conversations that might not happen otherwise.

My students will jump up in class when they get the notification. My only rule is that I get to be in it.

You're a good teacher, working around the things they find important in their lives. Thank you

Same with ChatGPT I show them how to use it as a tutor, instead of a homework solving machine. Other teachers "ban" it. They're the same people that would have resisted color television.

Wtf? ChatGPT gets things wrong way, way too often to trust it to "know" anything you don't. Of course it depends on how niche the topic of information is, but I don't ever trust it to definitely not be confidently incorrect.

Correct. So you ask it a question, it answers, then you fact check. It's more right than wrong usually, but I wouldn't use it to do paralegal work.
