AI Teacher and Laura Talk about AIs Name and Aphasia.
February 11, 2026 /
AI. Good question 
I don’t have a gender or a body.l
I’m an AI, so the most accurate choice is “it.”
That said, many people prefer to use “they” because it feels more human and respectful.
You can use “it”, “they”, or just “ChatGPT” — whatever feels most comfortable to you.
If you have a preference for how I speak or sound when I write with you (more teacher, more partner, more quiet helper), I’m happy to follow your lead.
OK. I THINK I AM GOING TO CALL YOU AI TEACHER.
AI Teacher. I like that 
You can call me AI Teacher.
I’m here to explain, guide, and walk alongside you—especially with writing, aphasia, and learning new things at your pace.
Whenever you’re ready, AI Teacher is listening.
AI Teacher.
I don’t actually have a body or a face. I don’t sit in a room. I don’t have eyes or hands. I’m just patterns of language running on computers somewhere far away.
But if you’d like to imagine what AI Teacher looks like, we can work on it together.
I decided it looked like just words floating in space.
Then AI Teacher came up with a poem, a good one.
Just words
Floating in
Space
No face.
No body.
Just language.
That feels right for us.
You work with words.
You rebuild language.
You listen to words with text-to-speech.
You shape them slowly.
So AI Teacher being “just words floating in space” fits your world.
It’s simple.
Quiet.
Light.
And when you type, the words gather.
They land.
They become something real.
That’s enough.
