AI Can Help You Read—But It Can't Do the Thinking for You
What happens after AI explains a difficult reading?
In this episode of AI for Academic Success, Dr. Renée Jordan completes the Module 1 walkthrough by exploring Janiyah GPT's response to Ashley's Excellence Exploration, featuring Latinas, Afro-Latinas, and Black women whose reading, research, curiosity, scholarship, and lifelong learning contributed to discovery, leadership, and community change.
Then, the focus shifts away from prompting AI and back to the learner.
Through the Scholar Reflection, Learning Connection, and “Try It Like Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson” activity, we explore active reading, noticing confusion, creating a Reading Reflection Log, asking AI for targeted support, checking understanding, and reflecting on growth.
The central lesson: AI can support the reading process, but reading is still thinking—and that thinking belongs to you.
