[mysterious music] Once upon a time, there was a boy named Cameron.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Cameron was in third grade, and his older brother, Kieran, was about to start sixth grade, his very first year at a new middle school building.
speaker_0NARRATOR
A few days before school started, Cameron and Kieran's family drove over to the new middle school for a visit so Kieran could find his classrooms and meet some of his teachers.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Cameron had to tag along, of course, even though he didn't really want to.
speaker_0NARRATOR
"Why do I have to come?" He grumbled from the backseat.
speaker_0NARRATOR
While Kieran and his parents talked to the teachers and looked at schedules, Cameron just stood there, bored out of his mind.
speaker_0NARRATOR
So, when nobody was watching, he wandered off down the hallway to explore.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The middle school was huge.

Daniel FenyiGUEST
There's no form of assessment.
Daniel FenyiGUEST
Whether you are using, because I'm comparing the WASI because I've heard people argue.
Ethan MintoHOST
Her Emmy and Friends books have been translated into over 20 languages globally.
Ethan MintoHOST
They combine words, illustrations, and graphic novel storytelling to explore friendship, anxiety, bullying, confidence, growing up, just all the everyday drama and emotions that come with middle school.
Ethan MintoHOST
And your series is about to reach a pretty incredible milestone.
Ethan MintoHOST
Book number 10, Seriously, Celia, which I have right here, it arrives September 29th.
Terri LibensonGUEST
So yeah, and then I learned more as I went along.
Ethan MintoHOST
Well, I can tell, or readers can tell, that all the experience that you gain, it paid off because the graphic novels that you read are hugely, or that you've written are hugely popular and they're honestly relatable.
Ethan MintoHOST
It can be very tough to tap into, you know, what inspires middle schoolers, what makes them uncomfortable, what makes them happy, and all the emotions surrounding it because it is a very confusing time for a lot of people.
Ethan MintoHOST
And one question that I have for you.
TaylorPANELIST

Phil AlbertelliHOST
But let's get into it.
Phil AlbertelliHOST
So students at a middle school in Kentucky were sent home with educational materials generated by AI that were riddled with bizarre mistakes and, quote unquote, "hallucinations." Basically, when AI doesn't have the correct answer, so it fills in the gaps on its own.
Phil AlbertelliHOST
For instance, there was a mangled periodic table featuring jumbled element names and incorrect numerical values, a map of the solar system that included an extra planet called Mark.
Phil AlbertelliHOST
Oh, hi Mark.
Phil AlbertelliHOST
I'll read a bit from this article from Futurism.
Phil AlbertelliHOST
It's dated August 17th.
Phil AlbertelliHOST
"Kentucky Middle School sent students home on first day of class with AI-generated educational materials full of inexcusable hallucinations, including a map labeled with, in quotes, 'North Dahoda' and 'Oklchoma.'" I imagine that's the AI's garbled attempt at Oklahoma, but it continues.
Phil AlbertelliHOST
"Kentucky parents are outraged after discovering that horribly inaccurate educational materials handed out to their middle school students were generated with AI.

speaker_2HOST
So I just, I just feel like it's going to be like a little harder than seventh grade.
speaker_2HOST
We were easing into middle school, but now we're going into high school after this.
speaker_2HOST
Yeah.
speaker_2HOST
And
speaker_3HOST
teachers also like really affects how you learn.
ColetteHOST
Well, yeah, I feel like it might also not be as bad as we think it is because I know people say seventh grade is the hardest grade going into because like the jump into middle school.
ColetteHOST
But eighth grade might not be as bad as we think it is.
speaker_3HOST
Yeah, honestly, I was really nervous for seventh grade, but like seventh grade was really fun.
JohnHOST
