> We know what works in education, and it's hiring more teachers, investing in the teachers so they have the resources to teach, giving them the freedom to refine the lessons to the class, reducing class sizes, etc.
And why haven't we done this? Because no one is willing to pay for it. Your solution is a non-starter, how about coming up with some practical alternatives? AI teachers are how we can implement one on one teaching at a cost people are willing to pay.
Doing more shit that doesn't work, with the only benefit being profits for the tech industry, should be a non-starter.
There's a reason most Silicon Valley high end private schools don't use tech to teach. Because it doesn't work. And pretending it does at this point is just idiotic. It's a waste of money that could be better spent.
I agree, nobody wants to spend money on education, but "throwing that limited funding away getting every student a faster iPad" doesn't help solve the problem either.

Until a few months ago no one who might build these products had access to models that were anywhere near this good, so of course it is only becoming a serious consideration now.
No one has attempted anything like this, I'm not sure why you are acting as if this has been tried and failed.
Anyone who thinks an AI "teacher" is going to successful educate even the top 10% of students is insane. Maybe the top 5% in the class have enough outside support to make an AI teacher improve their grade.
The rest will just laugh at being told what to do by an AI chat bot.
The TEACHER may well benefit from being able to plan a lesson with an AI, but i guarantee, no education system will improve grades by letting an AI loose with kids as a replacement for a human teacher.
I'm sure it will be tried as a way to avoid funding education sufficiently. Can't have the population too well educated, they might work out how they are really getting screwed.
