Abstract

This chapter offers collective, creative, and deeply human insights into the advent of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) from participants in higher education. Building on earlier workshop-based research, contributors were invited to submit written reflections on the metaphors they had collaboratively generated and discussed. Thirteen participants, including academic and professional staff and one student, responded and are included as co-authors. Their reflections, shaped through a cycle of metaphor-driven creation, introspection, and collective reflection, form the basis of a collective writing methodology that foregrounds shared meaning-making and diverse perspectives. This approach is offered as an alternative to the solution-focused responses within the sector to this rapidly changing technology. By designing for play with language and attending to affective dimensions, it opens space to reflect not only on GenAI in educational contexts, but also on a broader moment of transformation for educators, students, and institutions alike.
