Our take
AI-draftedKhan writes from inside the AI-in-education debate as both an interested party and an evangelist, having built Khanmigo, and reviewers have treated the book accordingly, crediting its granular, practitioner's-eye account while pressing on the gaps that self-interest creates. It reads best as a builder's manifesto rather than a disinterested survey.
In the press
“Hallucination (or bullshit-generation)... is a feature of the current LLM paradigm, not a bug.”
