Abstract The introduction of a new generation AI systems has kicked off another wave hype. Now that have added the ability to produce content their predictive capabilities, extreme excitement about alleged capabilities and opportunities is matched only by long held fears job loss machine control. We typically understand dynamics hype be something happens us, but in this commentary, we propose flip script. suggest not social fact, widely shared practice. outline some negative implications practice how these can mitigated, especially with regards shifting ways knowing learning AI, classroom beyond. Even though pedagogical efforts (broadly understood) benefited from hyping (there now more varied training than ever), such also help minimize impacts on public’s credulity toward extravagant claims made AI’s potential benefits dangers. Below, consider steps taken address issue illustrate pathways for holistic educational approaches participate lesser degree hyping. contend designing better futures will require blunted enable grounded debates impact people’s lives both near future.
