>As a teacher - I have no shortage of exercises, quizes etc. Internet is full of this kind of stuff and I have no trouble finding more than I ever need
Which all takes valuable time us teachers are extremely short on.
I've been a classroom teacher for more than 20 years, I know how painful it is to piece together a hodge podge of resourecs to put together lessons. Yes the information is out there, but a one click option to gather this into a cohesive unit for me saves me valuable time.
>95% of my time an mental capacity in this situation goes for deciding what makes sense in my particular pedagogical context? What wording works best for my particular students?
Which is exactly what GPT is amazing at.Brainstorming, rewriting, suggesting new angles of approach is GPTs main stength!
>Explanations are even harder.
Prompting GPT to give useful answers is part of the art of using these new tools. Ask GPT to speak in a different voice, take on a persona or target a differnt age group and you'll be amazed at what it can output.
> I find out almost daily that explanations which worked fine in last year, don't work any more
Exactly! Reframing your own point of view is hard work, GPT can be an invaluable assistant in this area.

No, it isn't. It just increases noise. I don't need any more info, I need just to make decisions "how?".

I'm not amazed. At best it sounds like some 60+ year old (like me) trying to be in the "age group" 14 while after only hearing from someone how young people talk. Especially in small cultures like ours here (~1M people).
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess it's just not for you then :)
