This study explores how discussing metaphors for AI can help build awareness of the frames that shape our understanding of AI systems, particularly large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. Given the pressing need to teach "critical AI literacy", discussion of metaphor provides an opportunity for inquiry and dialogue with space for nuance, playfulness, and critique. Using a collaborative autoethnographic methodology, we analyzed metaphors from a range of sources, and reflected on them individually according to seven questions, then met and discussed our interpretations. We then analyzed how our reflections contributed to the three kinds of literacies delineated in Selber's multiliteracies framework: functional, critical, and rhetorical. These allowed us to analyze questions of ethics, equity, and accessibility in relation to AI. We explored each metaphor along the dimension of whether or not it was promoting anthropomorphizing, and to what extent such metaphors imply that AI is sentient. Our findings highlight the role of metaphor reflection in fostering a nuanced understanding of AI, suggesting that our collaborative autoethnographic approach as well as the heuristic model of plotting AI metaphors on dimensions of anthropomorphism and multiliteracies, might be useful for educators and researchers in the pursuit of advancing critical AI literacy.

The emergence of ChatGPT and its ability to imitate student work has precipitated a crisis in education. Responses range from practical efforts to detect or prevent ChatGPT use to existential reflection about learning and assessment. However, the

It is worthwhile spending some time on social media to see the relentless bombardment faced by students from influencers peddling AI tools that straddle the line between aiding study and blatantly enabling cheating. These influencers flourish is contradictions and promise the moon: complete your homework in five minutes flat, forget about ever attending another lecture, let AI take up the pen for you. In each pitch, the essence of learning is overshadowed by a pervasive call to save time. Welcome to the dizzying world of AI influencer culture, where the pursuit of profit drives companies to use influencers as direct conduits to push their products onto students.

Many of you have probably tinkered with Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications and programs, or perhaps you are advanced in your journey of AI tools and could teach us a few things about how you are using AI in the classroom.
