I agree. As a former teacher I can see tremendous benefit in AI as an aid, but you still need to learn how to construct your own arguments, set out your solution to problems etc. kids think it is the answer that is important but of course in non-trivial questions it is not about the final answer, it is all about how you get there and explaining your reasoning.
No doubt library research is no longer the process it once was. Thank goodness!

Same with how I feel about Khan Academy. My math teachers were always swamped with too many students, every single one had their hand up you were lucky if you got one question answered if you had a follow-up you were fucked because it took the whole 90-minute class to get everyone's questions answered. We're not terrible at math as a nation, but it's a real struggle for us because math is one of those subjects where it's easy to make mistakes that result in the wrong answers and only through rigorous interactive practice do we really even begin to learn to spot and correct ours.

Great points. We need to identify and develop the most positive impacts on society and use those as a guide to AI policy, so it does not just become another way of making a few people very rich.

It can be a personal teacher for students.

I completed my graduation 17 years after completing my school. There is no age for education. Better late than never.

It requires talent to ask AI a question and the education system now start to encourage self-learnig. The current pedagogy is tutor dependent, hence not suitable for AI. But the new generation of education system can be entirely different.
No syllabus required, no books required as continuous assessment of students is easier as they get assessed on the move

It's going to be drastic but the oldies won't let go easily as they would be jobless. In fact most senior teachers professors are outdated and struggling to keep pace with evolution.

I feel the same. It definitely would have helped my understanding of certain subjects. It also could have offered social advice that an awkward teenager like me could have used lmao

You always have to check up what AI tells/answers you.
I managed to catch it out the other week.

I had none of that, of course. Not even Google, at least not until late college.

For my job, I rely on Google to learn facts. And in the past year or so the AI results often are sufficient.
