Abstract

In the age of Large Language Models (LLMs) purportedly being used by everyone, including students, do users actually know what they’re wielding? We present a study that aims to gauge the recognition of AI assisted processes in everyday life and understand what questions and concerns people have about AI. We particularly focus on educators, as the role of AI in the classroom raises concerns around technical and information literacy and the very nature of education.
